Ingredients

Scale
  • 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!

Notes

Tip 1: Use Fresh Sourdough Discard

  • Ensure that your sourdough discard is fresh to achieve the best flavor profile. Stale discard can affect the taste of your ice cream.
Tip 2: Try Different Flavors
  • Don’t hesitate to experiment with different flavor combinations, such as adding fruit purées, spices, or nuts to enhance the taste.
Tip 3: It Needs Time
  • Be patient! The ice cream needs sufficient time to freeze properly, so plan ahead for the best results.
