Recipe Notes:

•  Make sure to use chilled whipping cream for this recipe.
• Don't make the biscuit layer too thick, because they need to get moist after a few hours.
• If you don’t have an electric mixer, you can use a blender. Put the chilled fresh cream, vanilla and condensed milk in the blender and blend until the cream is whipped. ( but be careful, if you over blend/whip the cream it will turn into sweet butter).
