Preparation Steps

• Pour 1 cup of the heavy cream into a saucepan and add the sugar and sea salt. If using a vanilla bean, scrape the seeds into the mixture and add the pod to the saucepan.
• Warm the mixture over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and add the remaining cream, milk, and vanilla extract if used. Whisk to combine and chill in the refrigerator.
• When ready to churn, remove the vanilla pod, whisk the mixture again, and pour it into the ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Serve immediately or transfer the finished ice cream to an airtight container. Freeze until ready to serve.
