#### **1. Whipped Cream (Heavy Cream)**
Whipped cream is the key ingredient to achieving a creamy, smooth texture in any dessert. It’s rich and indulgent, and when whipped, it adds airiness and volume to the dessert. The beauty of whipped cream lies in its simplicity—just heavy cream (or whipping cream) can be transformed into something fluffy and light, which forms the base for many three-ingredient creamy desserts.
Whipped cream can be made from scratch by beating heavy cream with a bit of sugar, or you can use store-bought whipped cream for even more convenience. This versatility is another reason why this ingredient works well in a three-ingredient recipe.
#### **2. Sweetened Condensed Milk**
Sweetened condensed milk is a pantry staple in many homes. Made by removing most of the water from regular milk and adding sugar, it creates a thick, syrupy consistency with an intense sweetness. In desserts, sweetened condensed milk acts as a sweetener and adds creaminess, making it the perfect partner for whipped cream.
Because it’s already sweetened, you don’t need to add much sugar to your dessert. This makes the recipe even more straightforward and easy to make. It also keeps the dessert’s texture rich and velvety without any graininess.
#### **3. Vanilla Extract**
Vanilla extract is a flavor enhancer that brings depth to any dessert. It’s the ingredient that adds a layer of warmth and sweetness, balancing out the richness of the whipped cream and the sweetness of the condensed milk. Using high-quality vanilla extract can truly elevate the flavor profile of your dessert and create a comforting, classic taste. If you don’t have vanilla extract, other flavorings like almond extract or citrus zest can offer a different twist.
With these three simple ingredients, you can create a range of delicious, creamy desserts without the need for fancy equipment or intricate techniques. Now, let’s explore how to bring them together into a dreamy dessert.

### **Recipe: The Ultimate 3-Ingredient Creamy Dessert**
#### **Ingredients**
– 1 cup of heavy whipping cream (or 1 can of whipped cream)
– 1 can (14 ounces) of sweetened condensed milk
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
#### **Instructions**
1. **Whip the Cream**:
If you’re using heavy whipping cream (not pre-whipped cream), start by whipping it until soft peaks form. This means when you lift the beaters or whisk, the cream should hold a soft shape, but the peak will slightly droop. Be careful not to overwhip, or the cream could turn into butter.
2. **Combine the Sweetened Condensed Milk and Vanilla**:
In a separate bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Stir them together gently to ensure the vanilla is evenly distributed.
3. **Fold the Cream**:
Once the cream is whipped, carefully fold it into the sweetened condensed milk mixture. Use a spatula and work gently to combine the ingredients without deflating the whipped cream too much. The goal is to maintain the airy texture of the whipped cream while ensuring that everything is incorporated smoothly.
4. **Chill**:
Pour the mixture into a serving dish or individual cups, then refrigerate it for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld and the dessert set. The longer you refrigerate it, the firmer and creamier it will become.
5. **Serve**:
After chilling, your dessert is ready to serve. You can top it with fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for added flavor and visual appeal.
Enjoy the creamy, velvety texture and the rich vanilla flavor that makes this dessert so irresistible. It’s perfect for a quick sweet treat or for serving guests at a dinner party.
