Can you tell me how to make a homemade ice cream?

To make homemade ice cream, you will need some basic ingredients such as heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and any other flavorings or extracts of your choice. Start by combining the cream, sugar, and any desired flavorings in a bowl and whisking until the mixture is well combined. Place the bowl over a pot of boiling water and stir continuously until the mixture reaches a temperature of around 160°F (71°C). Remove from heat and transfer the mixture into an airtight container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. Once chilled, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the mixture until it becomes thick and creamy. Finally, pour the ice cream mixture into an ice cream maker and follow the instructions provided with your machine. Serve and enjoy!
