Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup heavy cream, cold
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 cups ice cubes
  • 6 tbsp rock salt or kosher salt

Method
 

  1. Combine cream, sugar, and vanilla in a quart-size zip-top bag. Seal and shake until sugar dissolves, about 15 seconds.
  2. Fill a gallon-size zip-top bag with ice and salt. Add the sealed cream bag, nestle into ice, and seal the large bag.
  3. Shake vigorously for 5–6 minutes, until the mixture is thick and scoopable.
  4. Remove cream bag, wipe off any salt, cut a corner, and squeeze or scoop into bowls.

Notes

For the smoothest texture, use cream that’s been in the fridge the longest. If you use table salt, cut it to 4 tablespoons and double-bag the ice bag to prevent leaks.
