Ingredients
  

  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk  (14 oz. can)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 bag Chocolate Mini Eggs crushed, (9 oz. bag)

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together the condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment until stiff peaks form. When stiff peaks form, the heavy cream will hold a defined shape when you pull the whisk out of the cream. 
  • Gently fold the condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula. Move the spatula down the middle of the bowl, then scoop and turn it over, drawing a lazy number 8 motion. You may need to rotate the bowl a bit, and fold until everything is fully incorporated and cohesive.
  • Pour half of the mixture into a loaf pan or similar freezer-safe container. Sprinkle half of the crushed mini eggs over the top. Pour the rest of the mixture on top. Then, sprinkle with remaining crushed mini eggs. 
  • Press parchment paper directly on top of the ice cream, then top with an airtight lid or wrap with plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 4 hours. 
  • When ready to serve, let it sit at room temp for 3-5 minutes to soften and make scooping easier. Keeps fresh for 1-2 weeks covered tightly in the freezer for best texture and taste.

Notes

Tips:
  • To easily crush your mini eggs, place them in a ziplock bag and use a rolling pin to crush them. 
  • Fold the condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream gently - don't use a lot of force. This helps maintain an airy texture.
  • For a nutty twist, swap the vanilla extract with almond extract.
  • Swirl in some melted chocolate or fruit compote before freezing. 
  • To add a coffee kick, whisk in a packet or spoonful of instant coffee or espresso into the sweetened condensed milk mixture.
