Ingredients

• 2 cups COLD heavy whipping cream
• 1 tsp good vanilla extract

2. Whip the cream with a mixer on medium-high speed until firm peaks form, about 2 minutes.
   
3. Fold in vanilla extract and sweetened condensed milk until combined.
   
4. Gently fold in animal crackers and sprinkles, if using, until evenly distributed. Pour into a metal loaf pan and garnish the top with more whole animal crackers.
