Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream chilled
  • 1 can (14 ounces) Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon Salt
  • 1.5 cups Assorted Christmas Cookies broken into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup Festive Sprinkles

Equipment

  • 1 Electric mixer
  • 1 Loaf Pan (9x5 inch)
  • 2 Mixing Bowls

Instructions
 

  1. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cold heavy whipping cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
  3. Gently fold about one cup of the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture to lighten it. Then, add the rest of the whipped cream, folding carefully with a spatula until just combined.
  4. Gently fold in your chopped Christmas cookies and festive sprinkles. Don’t overmix.
  5. Pour the mixture into a 9x5 inch loaf pan. Smooth the top and add more cookie pieces and sprinkles for decoration.
  6. Cover the container tightly with plastic wrap or a lid. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or until firm.

Notes

Chill Everything: For the fluffiest whipped cream, make sure your heavy cream, bowl, and beaters are very cold.
Don't Crush the Cookies: Break your cookies into small, bite-sized chunks rather than crushing them into dust.
Prevent Ice Crystals: Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream before putting the lid on to prevent ice crystals.
