Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 cup cold heavy cream – make sure it’s cold for best results

• 1 tin sweetened condensed milk – provides natural sweetness

• ½ cup Pink Chocolate powder – our key ingredient; adds flavor and nutrients

Optional: Sprinkles or ice cream cones for serving

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Whip the Cream

• Pour the cold cream into a stand mixer.

• Whip it until it forms stiff peaks. This will take about 5–7 minutes.

• If you don’t have a stand mixer, you can use a whisk, but it will take longer and require more effort.

---

2. Add Condensed Milk

• Pour in the sweetened condensed milk.

• This adds sweetness, so there’s no need to add extra sugar.

3. Mix in Pink Chocolate

• Add the Pink Chocolate powder to the mixture.

• Use a spatula to gently fold everything together until fully combined.

Tip: Make sure the cream is stiff before adding the condensed milk and chocolate to get a smooth, creamy texture.

4. Transfer to a Container

• Pour the ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container.

• I like to use separate bowls if making a large batch.

• Cover and freeze for about 6 hours, or until firm.

Note: Freezing time depends on your freezer and container type.

5. Serve and Enjoy

• Once frozen, scoop your ice cream into cones or bowls.

• Add sprinkles, jelly beans, or other toppings if you like.

• Enjoy your homemade treat!
