Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1 cup sourdough starter (discard or fed)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Optional toppings: chocolate chips, crushed cookies, fresh fruits (like berries or peaches), caramel or chocolate sauce
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, sourdough starter, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the ice cream base for at least 2 hours, or until it is thoroughly chilled.
Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions for about 20-25 minutes until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover it tightly and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
