    In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until well combined.

    Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container (such as a loaf pan). Lay plastic wrap on top of the ice cream to avoid freezer burn. Cover the container and freeze for at least 6 hours or until solid.
