Ingredients You’ll Need
- 2 cups (500ml) heavy whipping cream (cold)
- 1 can (14 oz/397g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt (enhances flavor)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Whip the Cream
- Pour the cold heavy cream into a large mixing bowl.
- Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form (about 2-3 minutes). The cream should be fluffy but not over-whipped.
Step 2: Add the Condensed Milk
- Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk using a spatula.
- Mix slowly to keep the air in the whipped cream, ensuring a light and creamy texture.
Step 3: Flavor It
- Add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
- Mix until everything is well combined.
Step 4: Freeze It
- Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container (a loaf pan works great).
- Smooth the top, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 6 hours (or overnight for best results).
How to Serve
- Scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy!
- Drizzle with chocolate syrup, caramel sauce, or fresh fruit for extra indulgence.
- Sprinkle with nuts, chocolate chips, or cookie crumbs for added crunch.
