Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Base
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, pour in the sweetened condensed milk and add the vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
Step 2: Whip the Cream
- Whip the Heavy Cream: In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This will add air and lightness to the ice cream.
- Fold Together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream; you want to maintain that airy texture.
Step 3: Customize Your Ice Cream
- Add Mix-Ins: If you want to customize your ice cream, this is the time to add any mix-ins. Fold in chocolate chips, fruit, or nuts gently into the mixture.
Step 4: Freeze
- Transfer to a Container: Pour the ice cream mixture into a suitable airtight container. Smooth the top with a spatula for an even finish.
- Chill: Cover the container and place it in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely frozen.
