STEP O N E : Whisk 14 Oz of condensed milk with 2 teaspoons of vanilla. You may add a pinch of salt if desired.

STEP T W O : Whip the heavy cream in another bowl using a mixer until it starts to form stiff PEAKS. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes, however, if you’re using a handheld one (on high), may double that length of time. Click on this link to see how it should look like.

STEP T H R E E : Fold a cup of heavy whip cream into the condensed milk mixture to lighten it. Once done, take this mixture and gradually fold it in to the whipped heavy cream bowl, combining it well. Here is a link to a video on how to properly fold.

Finally, pour in the mix into your mold and freeze! You may serve it in 2 hours, topped with your favorite toppings.
