4 Foolproof Ways to Make
Classic Vanilla Ice Cream

What makes this a “Classic” Vanilla Ice Cream is the vanilla extract — it gives that familiar, cosy flavour we all associate with true vanilla ice cream.

You can, of course, make vanilla ice cream with a vanilla bean, but the flavour is different — deeper and more aromatic — so we’ve created a dedicated section for that too.

• Plain & perfect • This easy version uses the fewest ingredients, and relies on some extra heavy cream as the key to its rich, creamy texture. (Also known as “Philadelphia-style,” but it does not contain cream cheese.)

Ingredients: vanilla extract, milk, heavy cream, and sugar.

• Our Favourite • Inspired by Sicilian ice cream, we use cornstarch to thicken the base while keeping it light in heavy cream.

Ingredients: vanilla extract, milk, heavy cream, sugar, and cornstarch.

• The all-time classic • A classic custard-based recipe with egg yolks for a rich and velvety consistency. A tad bit tricky to make, but so much worth it. Also, our winter favourite, for its rich and cosy mouthfeel.

Ingredients: vanilla extract, milk, heavy cream, sugar, and egg yolks.

• Our signature ice cream • A modern approach using a small amount of xanthan gum for a smooth, stable gelato texture. Simple to master and effortless to repeat — once you’ve made it, you’ll never need another recipe again.

Ingredients: vanilla extract, milk, cream, sugar, and xanthan gum
