Ingredients
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup sourdough starter discard
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt (reduce to ½ teaspoon if using Morton’s brand or table salt)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Base
Start by combining your sourdough discard with heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk in a mixing bowl. This creamy base will create a rich texture that’ll hold up beautifully in the freezer and give your ice cream a unique flavor.
Step 2: Mix in Flavorings
Blend in any additional flavorings you desire, such as vanilla extract or cocoa powder. This is where you can get creative! Adjust the flavors to match your taste and make your ice cream truly yours.
Step 3: Whisk Until Smooth
Using a whisk, mix the ingredients thoroughly until you achieve a smooth and even consistency. This step is crucial, as it helps to aerate the mixture, leading to a lighter ice cream.
Step 4: Freeze the Mixture
Transfer your mixture into an airtight container and place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until it is firm. This waiting period allows the flavors to meld beautifully together.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Once the ice cream is nicely set, scoop it into bowls or cones. Enjoy a deliciously unique treat that combines the tangy notes of sourdough with the sweetness of ice cream!
