Guys, this recipe is so easy that even your grandma could make it! The base of our ice cream is condensed milk, cream and milk. This combination makes everything creamy and delicious.

- In the mixer: Remove the cream from the refrigerator and beat in a mixer for about 5 minutes, until it is very creamy and increases in volume.
