Step-by-Step Instructions
- Whip the Cream
In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream. Use an electric hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar if you’d like extra sweetness. - Combine the Condensed Milk and Vanilla
In a separate bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk with the vanilla extract until well combined. This will serve as the base for your dessert. - Fold the Mixture Together
Gently fold the whipped cream into the sweetened condensed milk mixture. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream – fold until just combined. This will give the dessert its light and airy texture. - Add Fruit or Toppings
Swirl in your choice of fruit preserves or fresh fruit for added flavor. You can also stir in some crushed nuts or granola for a bit of crunch. - Chill and Serve
Spoon the mixture into individual serving dishes or one large bowl. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or longer if possible, to let the flavors meld together. - Garnish and Enjoy
Just before serving, garnish with a few fresh mint leaves or a light dusting of cocoa powder for an added touch of elegance.
Pro Tips
