Vanilla frozen tray dessert is a classic and versatile treat. Here’s a simple recipe you can try at home:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: chocolate chips, fruit, caramel sauce, nuts, etc.
Instructions:
- Prepare the Tray:
- Line a rectangular or square tray (about 9×9 inches) with parchment paper or plastic wrap, leaving some overhang to easily lift the dessert out later.
- Whip the Cream:
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This can be done with an electric mixer on medium-high speed.
- Mix in Sweetened Condensed Milk and Vanilla:
- In a separate bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract.
- Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream until fully combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
- Assemble the Dessert:
- Pour the mixture into the prepared tray, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Add any desired toppings evenly over the surface.
- Freeze:
- Cover the tray with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
- Place it in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours, or until the dessert is firm.
- Serve:
- Once the dessert is fully frozen, lift it out of the tray using the parchment paper or plastic wrap overhang.
- Cut into squares or desired shapes.
- Serve immediately, optionally garnished with additional toppings or sauces.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, you can add a few tablespoons of your favorite liqueur to the mixture.
- If you like texture in your desserts, consider mixing in crushed cookies or nuts before freezing.
- To create a layered dessert, you can alternate layers of the cream mixture with layers of crushed cookies or fruit.
Enjoy your homemade vanilla frozen tray dessert!
