*Mix heavy whipping cream and sugar in medium bowl until sugar is dissolved (hand mixer for 1-2 minutes)

That looks like an amazing dessert! If the BuilderLink Advisory Group ever actually gets together somewhere, I propose that you and Nick have the ice cream equivalent of a bake-off! Will make sure to bring my appetite... :-)
