Chill the outer bowl and inner bowl in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.

Fill the outer bowl halfway with ice and stir in kosher salt, using roughly one part salt to four parts ice.

Nest the inner bowl into the ice and pour in 2 cups of heavy cream.

Add 1 cup of evaporated milk or regular milk to the inner bowl.

Stir in 3/4 cup of granulated sugar and a generous amount of vanilla extract.

Use a hand mixer on the lowest setting to beat the mixture for 8-10 minutes until fluffy.

Transfer the entire setup to the freezer for about an hour.

After an hour, remove from the freezer and beat the mixture again for a few minutes until it resembles ice cream.

Pour the mixture into a lidded freezer-safe container and freeze for 24 hours for best results.
