## 👩‍🍳 How to Make It – Just 3 Easy Steps

### 1. **Whip the Cream**

In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. You can use a hand mixer or do it by hand if you’re feeling ambitious.

### 2. **Mix in the Lemon & Milk**

In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and zest. The lemon juice will naturally thicken the mixture.

### 3. **Fold and Chill**

Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture until smooth and fully combined. Spoon into individual serving glasses or ramekins and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes — or enjoy immediately if you can’t wait!

## 🍽️ Serving Tips

* Garnish with a slice of lemon or a twist of zest
