1. Whip the Cream
In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. This will take about 3–5 minutes with an electric mixer.
2. Fold in the Sweetened Condensed Milk
Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream using a spatula. Add the vanilla extract (or lemon juice) and fold until smooth and fully combined. Don’t overmix—you want to keep the airy texture.
3. Chill and Set
Spoon the mixture into small dessert cups or a loaf pan. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best texture.
Optional Toppings and Variations
- Fresh fruit (strawberries, mango, blueberries)
- Chocolate chips or shaved chocolate
- Cookie crumbles (graham crackers, Oreos)
- A swirl of jam or fruit puree
- Dusting of cocoa powder or cinnamon
