Kitchen Ade: Basic vanilla ice cream

1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

1 small (5-ounce) can evaporated milk

½ to 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup milk

 

 

 

Whisk all ingredients in a 2-quart pitcher until well blended. Cover and chill for several hours. (The colder the mixture, the better it will set up when processed.) Pour mixture into the canister of an ice-cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer’s directions. Spoon mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze for 2 hours, or until desired firmness is reached. Makes about 1½ quarts.
