Notes

The condensed milk to heavy cream/double cream (unwhipped) ratio must be 2:3 to achieve a soft and creamy texture of the ice cream. 
Ensure the plastic wrap touches the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals from forming. 
Use a chilled bowl and cream to speed up the whipping process. Keep the bowl in the fridge for 2-3 hours and then use it.
Consider metric measurements for accuracy.
