Ingredients
(Serves 2–4, depending on portion size)
1 can (14 oz / 400 g) sweetened condensed milk
2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
(That’s it — just two ingredients!)
Optional toppings (not counted in the 2 ingredients):
Fresh berries, crushed cookies, or grated chocolate
Caramel or chocolate drizzle
A sprinkle of sea salt or cinnamon
Instructions
Step 1 – Whip the Cream:
In a medium mixing bowl, pour in the heavy cream. Using a hand whisk or electric mixer, whip it until it forms soft peaks — creamy and fluffy but not stiff.
Step 2 – Add Condensed Milk:
Slowly pour in the sweetened condensed milk while gently folding it into the whipped cream. Mix just until combined and smooth.
Step 3 – Chill:
Transfer the mixture into serving glasses, a loaf pan, or small dessert bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours, or overnight if you prefer a firmer, mousse-like texture.
Step 4 – Serve:
Once chilled, the dessert will be thick, creamy, and perfectly set. Serve cold with your favorite toppings — fruit, syrup, nuts, or even a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
Description
This Creamy 2-Ingredient Dessert is luxuriously smooth, sweet, and velvety. The whipped cream gives it an airy, melt-in-your-mouth texture, while the condensed milk adds richness and caramel-like sweetness. It’s like a cross between mousse and ice cream — light but indulgent. Each spoonful is silky and satisfying, making it the perfect last-minute dessert for guests or an easy weeknight treat.
Tips
Use cold cream straight from the fridge — it whips up faster and holds its texture.
Don’t overmix after adding condensed milk; fold gently to keep it airy.
For a lighter version, substitute half the heavy cream with plain Greek yogurt.
For extra flavor, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, instant coffee, or cocoa powder.
Chill long enough — at least 3 hours — so it sets nicely and tastes refreshing.
Serve in chilled glasses for the best texture.
Variations
Chocolate Version: Add 2 tablespoons cocoa powder or melted chocolate to the mixture before chilling.
Coffee Mousse: Stir in 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules for a cappuccino flavor.
Fruit Swirl: Fold in a few tablespoons of fruit puree (like mango, strawberry, or raspberry) before chilling.
Frozen Dessert: Freeze the mixture for 6–8 hours for a no-churn ice cream version.
Layered Parfait: Alternate layers of crushed cookies or cake crumbs with the creamy mixture for a trifle-style dessert.
Nutty Delight: Add chopped pistachios, almonds, or hazelnuts for crunch.
Correction (Common Mistakes & How to Fix)
Too runny: Cream wasn’t whipped enough — make sure it reaches soft peaks before adding condensed milk.
Too sweet: Use only ¾ can of condensed milk, or mix in a pinch of salt or unsweetened cocoa.
Grainy texture: Overwhipping can cause separation — stop once smooth.
Doesn’t set: Chill longer (4–6 hours) or freeze for firmer consistency.
Flavor too plain: Add extracts (vanilla, almond, lemon) or fruit puree for a flavor boost.
