Whip 2 cups heavy cream with an electric or stand mixer until soft peaks form. Fold in 1 can sweetened condensed milk and 2 tsp vanilla extract.

Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze the stracciatella ice cream . It usually takes 4-6 hours to freeze condensed milk ice cream properly. For the best results, let it freeze overnight.

Don't overmix: Stop whipping as soon as soft peaks form. Over-whipping can lead to a grainy texture in your ice cream.

Adjust to taste: Taste your mixture before freezing and feel free to adjust the sweetness or add more vanilla according to your preference.

Freeze until set: Allow the ice cream to freeze for at least 4 hours to ensure a creamy and scoopable texture.

Storage: Condensed milk ice cream can be stored in the freezer in an airtight container for 2-3 weeks.
