Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 can (14 oz) Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment to whip the heavy cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This should take about 4-5 minutes.
In a separate large bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until fully blended.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the sweetened condensed milk mixture in batches. Use a spatula to combine them carefully, ensuring you do not deflate the whipped cream.
Once the mixture is smooth and uniform, pour it into a freezer-safe container with a lid. Smooth the top with the back of a spoon or spatula.
Cover the container with the lid or wrap it tightly with plastic wrap. Place it in the freezer for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
To serve, let the ice cream rest at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Scoop and enjoy!
