    Ingredients

    Heavy whipping cream- you will need 2 cups of heavy whipping cream whipped into stiff peaks.

    Condensed milk– the second ingredient for this recipe Is condensed milk, you will need 1 cup of your favorite brand of condensed milk.

    Cocoa powder- we like to use Dutch cocoa powder, it gives a richer chocolate taste. Regular cocoa powder will work great as well.

    Chocolate chips (optional) – we like to top the chocolate ice cream with chocolate chips for extra chocolate and a fun crunch. This step is completely optional.

    Instructions

    Step 1: In a big mixing bowl, add the heavy cream. Whip it with an electric hand mixer for 5-8 minutes or until stiff peaks form.

    Step 2: Add the condensed milk and whip on low speed until well combined.

    Step 3: Add the cocoa powder to the mixture and lightly fold with a spatula until well combined. Give the mixture a last mix with the hand mixer to break any cocoa powder lumps.

    Step 4: Transfer the ice cream mixture into a freezer-friendly container (we used a metal loaf pan).

    Step 5: Smooth out the top and top with chocolate chips. Cover the container with plastic wrap and place the container in the freezer for at least 4 hours. Once frozen, scoop with an ice cream scooper and serve!

    Faq's

    What to do if the ice cream is too frozen?

    When taking the ice cream out of the freezer, it can be too hard to scoop and eat. We suggest taking the container out of the freezer and placing it at room temperature for about 10 minutes. When the ice cream is softened, serve it as you’d like.

    how long will the ice cream last?

    The ice cream will last for up to 2 months stored in the freezer in an airtight freezer-friendly container.

    Do I need an ice cream maker for this ice cream?

    No! this recipe doesn’t require an ice cream maker or an ice cream machine! All you will need is a mixing bowl, an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer, and a loaf pan!

    Expert tips

    • Sift the cocoa powder! Cocoa powder tends to have lumps in it so we always sift the cocoa powder before adding it to the ice cream mixture.
    • Keep your bowl, whisks, and your ingredients cold. Cold cream whipped faster and better!
    • Don't try to replace one of the ingredients with lower fat ingredients. The heavy cream is very important in this recipe and what makes this recipe foolproof.
    • Add some add-ins! Make this ice cream your own and add your favorite flavors and add-ins like salted caramel, brownies pieces, chocolate chunks, nuts, edible cookie dough, M&M's, etc.

    Serving ideas

    Serve this ice cream with whipped cream and chocolate syrup or caramel syrup. Another way to serve the ice cream is with homemade crepes or pancakes!

    Yes, you can add any of your favorite toppings to this recipe! You can add a crushed chocolate bar, crushed chocolate cookies, caramel sauce, white chocolate chips, nuts, etc.

    Tools

    Big mixing bowl– we mix the ingredients in a big mixing bowl, grab your favorite one.

    Electric hand mixer/ stand mixer– to whip the heavy cream with the rest of the ingredients.

    A container for the ice cream- a freezer-friendly container. We used a metal loaf pan.

    Substitutions

    Dairy-free - replace the heavy whipping cream with vegan heavy whipping cream, and replace the condensed milk with vegan condensed milk. Cocoa powder and chocolate chips are vegan, so you won’t need to replace them.

    Double chocolate banana bread- This double chocolate banana bread is filled and topped with chocolate chips, extra moist, and melt in your mouth delicious. Since we started making this double chocolate banana bread, it become our favorite banana bread recipe ever!

    Best fudgy brownies- These fudgy brownies are made from scratch brownies are loaded with chocolate chunks, and take under an hour to make. These brownies are fudgy, rich in chocolate flavor, have a crinkly top, and are gooey on the inside.

    Chewy double chocolate cookies- These double chocolate cookies are chewy, soft, have slightly soft edges, and are loaded with chocolate flavor and chocolate chips!
