Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup flaked ice or crushed ice
- Optional toppings: chocolate syrup sprinkles, fresh fruits, or nuts
Instructions
- Whisk the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, regular milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until everything is well blended and creamy.
- Add Flaked Ice: Gently fold in the flaked ice. The idea is to maintain as much volume as possible for that airy texture.
- Container Time: Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Cover it tightly to prevent any ice crystals from forming.
- Freeze: Freeze for at least four hours, or until solid. If you want perfect flake texture, consider leaving it overnight.
- Scoop and Serve: Once ready, use an ice cream scoop to serve. Top with your choice of chocolate syrup, sprinkles, or your favorite fruits. Enjoy!
