Description
Creamy, lush, and deeply chocolatey no-churn ice cream you can make in minutes, then let the freezer do the rest. No machine, no eggs, just pure velvet in every bite.
Ingredients
- Heavy whipping cream: 2 cups, cold
- Sweetened condensed milk: 1 can, 14 ounces
- Unsweetened cocoa powder: 1/2 cup, sifted
- Semi-sweet chocolate (melted and cooled): 4 ounces
- Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- Fine salt: 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
- Chill the tools: Place the mixing bowl and whisk or mixer beaters in the refrigerator for 15 minutes so the cream whips quickly and stays stable.
- Make the chocolate base: In a large bowl whisk the sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, melted and cooled semi-sweet chocolate, vanilla extract, and salt until fully smooth and glossy.
- Whip the cream: In the chilled bowl beat the heavy whipping cream to stiff peaks, taking care not to overwhip.
- Fold together: Using a rubber spatula gently fold one third of the whipped cream into the chocolate base to lighten it, then fold in the remaining cream just until no streaks remain.
- Pan prep: Line a 9×5 inch loaf pan or freezer safe container with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy lifting.
- Fill and level: Scrape the mixture into the pan and smooth the top with a spatula for even freezing.
- Seal: Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface, then cover the pan to prevent ice crystals.
- Freeze: Freeze until firm, at least 6 hours or overnight for best scoopable texture.
- Serve: Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 3 to 5 minutes, then scoop and enjoy.
Notes
- For extra depth add 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder to the chocolate base.
- Use high quality cocoa and chocolate for the richest flavor.
- Run your scoop under hot water for clean, round scoops.
