Quick & creamy ice-cream recipe (No machine needed!)
Ingredients:
2 cups fresh cream (chilled)
1 cup condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional: chocolate chips, nuts, fruit puree, or cookie crumbs for mix-ins

Method:
Whip the cream: In a large mixing bowl, whip the chilled fresh cream using a hand mixer or whisk until it forms soft peaks.
Add condensed milk: Gently fold in the condensed milk and vanilla extract. Be careful not to overmix; you want it light and airy.
Customise your flavour: At this point, you can add any mix-ins you like, crushed Oreos, mango pulp, berries, or a swirl of chocolate sauce.
