Ingredients

  • 2 cups very cold heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
  • Pinch of fine sea salt optional

Instructions

  • Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt to a large bowl or bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.
  • Whip on low speed with an electric hand mixer and whisk attachment or with the stand mixer/whisk attachment. Once the cream starts to thicken, slowly increase the speed to medium-high and continue to whip until soft peaks form.
  • Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk until completely incorporated.
  • Transfer to a 2-qt freezer-safe container. Freeze for at least 4-6 hours or overnight.

Notes

  1. For more of a soft-serve texture freeze for 1-2 hours.
  2. Vanilla bean paste can be used in place of the vanilla extract.
  3. I highly suggest using the salt and not omitting it. It really helps to balance the flavor.
