🛒 Ingredients

20 servings

20
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz / 397 g)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (200 ml)
  • 1 box flavored gelatin of your choice (3 oz / 85 g)
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup cold water

Directions

  1. 1

    Dissolve the gelatin powder in boiling water, stir well, then add cold water. Do not refrigerate — keep it liquid.

  2. 2

    Pour the warm gelatin into a blender along with the sweetened condensed milk and heavy cream.

  3. 3

    Blend on high speed for 2 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth.

  4. 4

    Transfer to a deep freezer-safe container with a tight-fitting lid and freeze for at least 4 hours.

  5. 5

    Remove from the freezer and transfer to a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer for 3–4 minutes until creamy and fluffy.

  6. 6

    Return to the container and freeze for at least 2 more hours before serving.

  7. 7

    Let stand at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping. Serve as is or topped with fresh fruit.

💡 Chef's Tip

Try strawberry or raspberry gelatin for a fruity flavor, or lime for a refreshing twist. Fold in crushed cookies or chocolate chips after the second whipping for added texture.
