Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup marshmallow fluff
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ice Cream Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Whisk gently until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the Marshmallow Fluff: Fold in the marshmallow fluff carefully to maintain its airy texture. The fluff will gradually blend into the cream, giving the ice cream its signature sweet and cloud-like consistency.
  3. Flavor with Vanilla and Salt: Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance and balance the flavors, adding subtle depth to the dessert.
  4. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to thoroughly chill the mixture before churning, which helps achieve optimal texture.
  5. Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the chilled base into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This aerates the mixture, creating a creamy and smooth texture.
  6. Freeze Until Firm: Transfer the freshly churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight to reach a firm, scoopable consistency.

Notes

  • Use fresh heavy cream and milk for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not skip the chilling step before churning to ensure smoother ice cream.
  • Fold marshmallow fluff gently to keep its light and airy texture intact.
  • Adjust sweetness by tasting the base before chilling; add more marshmallow fluff if desired.
  • Ensure your ice cream maker’s bowl is fully frozen before starting for best results.
