Ingredients
  

Ice Cream Base
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream Provides richness; can substitute with coconut cream for a dairy-free version.
  • 1 cup Whole Milk Adds creaminess; almond milk can serve as a lighter alternative.
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens the mix; can use brown sugar for a deeper flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances overall flavor; pure lemon or almond extract can lend a different twist.
Mix-ins
  • 1 cup Oats Adds texture; gluten-free oats suit dietary restrictions.
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips Offers melty richness; swap in butterscotch or peanut butter chips for variation.
  • 1 cup M&Ms Makes it fun and colorful; use any favorite candy for customization.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until sugar dissolves effortlessly.
  2. Stir in oats, chocolate chips, and M&Ms, allowing their flavors to intertwine playfully.
Churning
  1. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker.
  2. Churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it achieves a soft-serve consistency.
Freezing
  1. Transfer the ice cream to a container and freeze for at least four hours until firmly set.

Notes

Chill your mixing bowl in the freezer before beginning to enhance the creaminess. For added texture, experiment with mix-ins like chopped nuts or different candies.
