Ingredients
  

2 cups heavy whipping cream

1 cup sweetened condensed milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or your favorite mix-ins like fruits or nuts)

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the heavy whipping cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This should take about 3-5 minutes. The cream should be thick and fluffy.

    Combine Ingredients: In another bowl, gently mix the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

      Fold Together: Carefully fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture. Use a spatula to combine them without deflating the whipped cream. It's best to do this in batches, gently incorporating the whipped cream until everything is blended and smooth.

        Add Mix-Ins: Once combined, fold in the chocolate chips (or your choice of mix-ins). Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the ice cream mixture.

          Transfer to Container: Pour the mixture into a 9x5-inch loaf pan or an airtight container, smoothing the top with a spatula.

            Freeze: Cover the container with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for at least 6 hours, or until completely set.

              Serve: Once frozen, scoop out your homemade ice cream into bowls or cones. Enjoy it plain or top it with your favorite toppings like fudge, sprinkles, or fresh fruits!
