Chill a mixing bowl and beaters (or whisk attachment) in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before starting.
Pour the heavy cream into the chilled bowl and beat on medium-high speed using an electric mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
In a separate large bowl, pour in the sweetened condensed milk and mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the sweetened condensed milk mixture. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to retain the airiness of the whipped cream.
Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container with a lid. Smooth the top with a spatula and cover tightly.
Place the container in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours or until fully set. For best results, freeze overnight.
Scoop and serve as is, or top with your favorite toppings like chocolate syrup, fruits, or sprinkles.
