🍦 3-Ingredient Homemade Ice Cream

🥄 Ingredients:

• 2 cups heavy whipping cream (cold)

• 1 can (14 oz / 400 ml) sweetened condensed milk

• 1 tsp vanilla extract (or swap for another flavor — see variations below)

---

🧁 Instructions:

1. Whip the cream:
   In a large bowl, whip the cold heavy cream using a hand mixer (or stand mixer) until stiff peaks form (about 3–4 minutes).

2. Fold in the condensed milk and vanilla:
   Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla into the whipped cream using a spatula. Don’t overmix — you want to keep the mixture light and airy.

3. Freeze:
   Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or airtight container. Smooth the top and cover.
   Freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until firm.

✅ Bonus Tips:

• Use a metal loaf pan for faster freezing.

• Swap vanilla for almond, coconut, or mint extract for unique flavors.
