Place a medium-sized mixing bowl (3-4 quarts, metal or glass) in the freezer. If using a stand mixer, place the wire whisk attachment in the freezer with the mixing bowl. If you are using a handheld mixer, place the beaters in the freezer.
Line an 8½ x 4½ metal loaf pan (or a 9x5) with plastic wrap, then place the loaf pan in the freezer as well. Freeze the loaf pan, mixing bowl, and whisk or beaters for 30 minutes.
Add the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and salt to a medium-sized mixing bowl (3-4 quarts). Stir to combine.
Remove the mixing bowl and whisk or beaters from the freezer. Pour in the cold heavy cream. Beat the cream on high speed until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold 1 cup of the whipped heavy cream at a time into the sweetened condensed milk mixture.
Remove the metal loaf pan from the freezer. Evenly spoon the whipped cream mixture into the loaf pan. Cover with aluminum foil and place back in the freezer for 2 hours.
Remove the foil-covered loaf pan from the freezer. Sprinkle ½ of the mini chocolate chips on top of the ice cream. Swirl with a knife to distribute the chips. Sprinkle the remaining chips and swirl with the knife. You can reserve 1-2 tablespoons of the mini chocolate chips to sprinkle over the top of the ice cream. Cover the loaf pan with the aluminum foil and freeze for an additional 3 hours. Remove the foil before scooping and serving.

Before you begin, make sure to chill the mixing bowl, whisk/beaters, and the loaf pan in the freezer. This helps the cream whip up faster and achieve stiff peaks.
When whipping the heavy cream, be patient and whip it until stiff peaks form. This means the cream should hold its shape when you lift the beaters or whisk.
When combining the whipped cream with the sweetened condensed milk mixture, fold gently to maintain the airiness and fluffiness of the mixture. Overmixing can deflate the air and result in a denser ice cream.
