Delicious Maple Walnut Ice Cream Recipe - Easy to Make

Ingredients

Servings:
5
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts (lightly toasted for extra flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare Ice Cream Base

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together heavy cream, whole milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.

    Ensure the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  2. Chill the Mixture

    Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or until it is thoroughly chilled.

    Chilling helps to improve the texture of the ice cream.
  3. Churn the Ice Cream

    Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

    This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
  4. Add Walnuts

    During the last few minutes of churning, add the chopped walnuts to the ice cream.

    This will ensure the walnuts are evenly distributed throughout the ice cream.
  5. Freeze the Ice Cream

    Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours to firm up.

    For best results, allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
