I forgot I had this recipe and I thought I'd post it before Christmas. It is easy and good for any time of year. Can be made up to 1 month ahead of time! The chocolate sauce is optional and I usually don't add it but if you really like chocolate it does add to the already lovely presentation.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh cream and milk, and pure vanilla extract.
  • Make sure your ice cream maker is properly frozen before churning the ice cream. This will help the ice cream freeze more quickly and smoothly.
  • Churn the ice cream according to the manufacturer's instructions. Over-churning can result in a icy texture.
  • Once the ice cream is churned, transfer it to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the ice cream to firm up and develop its full flavor.
  • For a fun and festive presentation, serve the ice cream with crushed candy canes or peppermint sticks.
