Instructions
- Chill the Ingredients and Equipment
- For the best results, make sure your heavy whipping cream is well-chilled before starting. You can also chill the mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to help the cream whip faster.
- Whip the Cream
- In a chilled mixing bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream.
- Using an electric mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed until it forms soft peaks, which should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the Sweetened Condensed Milk
- Gradually pour the sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream while continuing to mix on low speed.
- Mix just until the ingredients are combined and the mixture is smooth and fluffy. Be careful not to overwhip, as this can cause the mixture to become grainy.
- Chill and Serve
- Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl or individual dessert cups.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the dessert to set. Serve it chilled, and enjoy a light, creamy, and sweet treat!
Tips for Making the Best 2-Ingredient Dessert
- Use Full-Fat Ingredients: To achieve the creamiest and most luxurious texture, it’s best to use full-fat heavy whipping cream and sweetened condensed milk.
- Add Flavorings (Optional): Though this dessert is delicious on its own, you can enhance it by adding a few drops of vanilla extract, a pinch of cinnamon, or a splash of fruit puree to the mixture.
- Toppings: Garnish with chocolate shavings, crushed cookies, fresh fruit, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra touch.
Variations
- Frozen Dessert: Freeze the whipped mixture in a loaf pan for 4-6 hours to create an easy ice cream. Add mix-ins like chocolate chips or fruit pieces before freezing.
- Fruit Mousse: Fold in a few tablespoons of your favorite fruit puree (such as strawberry, mango, or raspberry) to give the dessert a fruity flavor.
- Chocolate Whip: Mix in 1-2 tablespoons of cocoa powder with the whipped cream for a chocolate-flavored treat.
Storage
- Refrigerator: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freezer: For a frozen version, cover tightly and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.
