Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 2 cups heavy cream Gives it that rich, creamy base.
  • 1 cup whole milk Helps balance the texture.
  • 1 cup sugar Makes sure it’s sweet enough to match the soda.
  • 1 can (12 oz) Grapico soda This is where all the grape flavor and color come from.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds a little depth.
  • 1 pinch salt Brings out the flavors.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Grab a big bowl. Pour in the heavy cream, whole milk, and sugar. Whisk it until the sugar’s gone.
  2. Toss in the vanilla and a pinch of salt. Give it a quick stir.
  3. Slowly pour in the Grapico soda, stirring gently to mix without creating too much foam.
Churning
  1. Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Freezing
  1. Scoop the ice cream into an airtight container.
  2. Cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent ice crystals from forming, then seal the container.
  3. Freeze for at least 4 hours, but overnight is better if you want firm ice cream.

Notes

For best results, chill your ingredients beforehand and allow the ice cream to sit for a few minutes at room temperature before serving for easier scooping.
