For thickening homemade ice cream, I love using heavy cream for that creamy texture! Some folks also add cornstarch or gelatin for an extra boost. If you're feeling adventurous, a bit of sweetened condensed milk can work wonders too!

If you're making custard-based ice creams, I suggest you use egg yolks to thicken them. They add richness and help stabilize the mixture when heated.
