Hii! Just tried my hand at some homemade vanilla ice cream, and it turned out kinda icy :( does anyone know what I might have done wrong here?

Making ice cream at home is quite an art. I learned it the hard way. It seems like you're dealing with an issue of ice crystallisation. This might occur if your mixture has too much water content or if it isn't churned at right speed. Soon you'll get a hang of it. Keep experimenting.

Welcome to homemade ice cream dilemmas! Seems like an issue with your base and churning process. Make sure you've cooked your base long enough to evaporate extra water. Also consistent churning is really important to avoid ice crystals. Oh, and age your mix in the fridge for a day before you churn it for best results. Good luck!

Alright, so a few things could've gone wrong here. One, if your ice cream mix wasn't cold enough before churning. Two, too much sugar can lower the freezing point, giving an icy texture. And three, make sure you're churning at the right speed. If it's too slow, you won't incorporate enough air and it can end up icy. Hope this helps you out.
