Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream on medium speed until soft peaks form (about 2-3 minutes).
In another bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a handful of cotton candy until fully combined.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cotton candy mixture until evenly combined.
Pour the mixture into an airtight container, smooth the top, and cover. Tap lightly to remove any large air pockets.
Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm.
Scoop into bowls, top with extra cotton candy if desired, and enjoy!
Notes
