Buttermilk Ice Cream Bliss: 5 Reasons You Must Try It!

This buttermilk ice cream uses 2 cups chilled buttermilk, 1 cup heavy cream, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

Stir the ingredients together until the sugar dissolves, churn in an ice cream maker according to its manufacturer’s instructions, then transfer to a covered freezer-safe container and freeze for at least four hours. Start with chilled ingredients and prepare the machine as directed.

The displayed 30-minute machine time is an estimate; actual churning time depends on your machine. Allow extra time if its bowl needs pre-freezing. This version requires an ice cream maker and does not use the earlier saucepan method.
