To make your own ice cream, you’ll only need 6 ingredients.

And if you’re always making desserts at home, there’s a good chance that you already have most of them in your kitchen.

To get started, here’s a list of what you’ll need:

  • 4 cups of ice cubes
  • 1/4 cup raspberries or blueberries
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 1/2 cup rock salt
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract

The recipe is just good for one person.

If you’re planning on sharing with a sibling or your friend, you can just adjust the quantity. Or you can just politely say that it’s not enough for two.

For the first step, mix the cream, berries, vanilla extract, and sugar in a Ziploc bag.
