Ingredients
½ cup 119 g heavy cream½ cup 122 5 g whole milk¼ cup 50 g granulated sugar1 teaspoon vanilla extract3 cups ice⅓ cup 96 g kosher salt can also use Himalayan or rock salt
Instructions
To a sealable plastic bag add the heavy cream whole milk and vanilla extract.
Add in the sugar. Now seal the bag doublecheck to make sure it is completely closed and shake for a moment until the sugar is evenly distributed and has dissolved completely.
Open the bag remove as much excess air as possible and seal again.
To a separate larger resealable plastic bag add the ice and salt.
Place the bag with the cream mixture inside the ice bag making sure both bags are sealed tightly.
Shake the bag vigorously over a sink for about 5 minutes. You may want to wear gloves or wrap the bag with towels so your hands wont get cold. The salt will lower the temperature causing the mixture to freeze and turn into a softserve ice cream.
Carefully remove the ice cream bag from the ice bag.
Check the consistency of the soft serve. If it has reached the desired thickness it is ready to serve. Shake a little longer for a harder ice cream.
Scoop or pipe the soft serve into bowls or cones and enjoy immediately.

Can I Double This Recipe?
The short answer is no. When I tried doubling the recipe using the method below it took a bit longer and the ice cream didnt get as solid as pictured above. You can make multiple batches though and even reuse the ice salt mixture.
