Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium pot, mix the coconut cream, coconut milk, milk powder, sugar, and condensed milk until all ingredients are fully blended.

Notes
- Use coconut cream for a richer, dairy-free option, or substitute with whipping cream for a traditional creamy texture.
- Adjust the sugar quantity to taste, especially if using sweetened condensed milk.
- Ensure constant stirring during heating to prevent lumps and sticking.
- Freezing time can be extended to improve firmness.
- Flavoring is optional but recommended for added depth and aroma.
