Chill your Cuisinart ice cream maker's frozen bowl according to the manufacturer's instructions (usually at least 24 hours). This is a crucial step for achieving the perfect creamy texture.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar is completely dissolved. Ensure there are no sugar granules remaining at the bottom of the bowl.
Pour the chilled mixture into your Cuisinart ice cream maker. Turn the machine on and let it churn for about 20-30 minutes, or until the ice cream has a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container. For a firmer texture, freeze for at least 2-4 hours. For a softer, more immediate treat, enjoy right after churning.
