Tips for Success
✅ Use COLD heavy cream – it whips better and gives more volume
✅ Don’t over-whip – stiff peaks are great, but don’t make butter
✅ Fold gently – to keep the air in for creaminess
✅ Freeze in a shallow container – helps it set faster and more evenly
✅ Cover well – use cling film touching the surface to prevent ice crystals

Instructions
1. Whip the Cream:
In a chilled bowl, whip cold heavy cream to stiff peaks using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
2. Mix the Base:
In a separate bowl, mix sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt until combined.
3. Combine:
Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture in batches until fully incorporated. Don’t deflate it!
4. Freeze:
Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top, cover, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
5. Scoop & Enjoy!
Let sit at room temp for 5 minutes before scooping for the perfect texture.
