Instructions

1. Whip the Cream

In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. You want it light and fluffy, but not too stiff.

2. Mix the Base

Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well combined.

3. Add Flavor and Texture

Fold in any extras you like—chopped fruits, crushed cookies, nuts, or even swirls of jam or chocolate.

4. Freeze

Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe dish or individual cups. Smooth the top, cover with plastic wrap or a lid, and freeze for at least 4–6 hours, or until firm.

5. Serve

Before serving, let the dessert sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls or slice if made in a dish. Add toppings of your choice and enjoy!


Fun Variations

  • New Year’s Confetti Dessert: Add rainbow sprinkles and crushed meringue for a colorful twist.
  • Chocolate Lovers’ Version: Stir in cocoa powder and chocolate chips before freezing.
  • Tropical Vibes: Use mango puree and coconut flakes for a bright, sunny flavor.

Tips for Success

  • Use cold cream for the best whipping results.
  • To keep the dessert ultra-smooth, avoid over-mixing after adding fruit.
  • Make it in a loaf pan lined with parchment paper for easy slicing.
