Makes one quart

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 Tbsp. sugar
• 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
• 3 cups vanilla ice cream, softened

Directions

Active time: 20 minutes
Total time: At least 4 1/2 hours

Using a handheld electric mixer, whisk cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes. Add sugar and vanilla and continue whisking to make stiff peaks, about 30 seconds more. Using a rubber spatula, stir in ice cream until well combined. Transfer mixture to a large, resealable freezer bag and freeze until semifirm (like soft-serve ice cream), 4 to 6 hours.

When ready to serve, remove ice cream from freezer and, if needed, knead bag until uniformly soft, about 30 seconds. (Cover bag with a towel to protect your hands from the cold.) Snip off a corner of the bag to pipe ice cream into a cone, or simply scoop and serve.
