Chocolate Chip Ice Cream for 8 Servings

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, salt, and whole milk. Whisk vigorously until the sugar crystals have completely dissolved and the liquid looks clear.
2. Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract until the mixture is a uniform, pale ivory color.
3. Pour the cream mixture into your ice cream maker. Turn the machine on and churn according to the manufacturer's directions (usually 15–25 minutes) until it reaches a thick, soft-serve consistency.
4. During the final 2 minutes of churning, slowly pour in the mini chocolate chips. Allow the machine to distribute them evenly.
5. Use a rubber spatula to fold in any remaining chips from the sides of the bowl.
6. Transfer the soft ice cream into an airtight freezer-safe container. Press a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap directly onto the surface and freeze for 4 hours.
