I scream, You Scream…and well you know the rest! We all scream for Ice Cream especially in the warm summer months. So today I’m sharing a no-churn homemade chocolate ice cream recipe that anyone can made. It’s the perfect cold treat on any warm day.
Now where has homemade ice cream been all my life? Well, I can say that I did have some, a time or two, at a special event at church and/or at school. But I mean as an adult, why haven’t I tried this before. It’s just too simple not to try it and make your own at home. And there’s just so many ways you can go with this recipe: different flavors, toppings and add-ins. I did chocolate this go around because it’s a fan favorite at our house.
Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream
This recipe only requires five (5) ingredients without the use of eggs. I tried making it with egg which is what is used as a base, traditionally, for homemade ice cream. And I had an epic fail. Not due to the egg but due to the high sugar content. I added in too much sugar and if your mixture is too high in sugar, it will not freeze. Hear me again, it WILL NOT freeze lol. So, I may try it again using eggs at some point but for now, this recipe is just about as simple as it gets. The result is perfectly smooth, creamy chocolate ice cream that you can put your lips on this Summer!!
Ingredients
- One (1) - 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 2 cups heavy cream
- Any toppings desired
Instructions
- Chill metal loaf pan. A 9x5x3in works perfectly.
- Mix the milk, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt together in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, using a hand mixer (med-high speed), mix cream until stiff peaks begin to form, for about 4 minutes.
- Carefully add, in half parts, the stiffened cream mixture to the chocolate mixture. Continue to add in and mix until mixture is completely light brown and uniform in color.
- Pour the ice cream mixture into the chilled metal pan, cover tightly with foil and freeze.
- At 2 hours, the ice cream has the consistency of soft serve ice cream.
- At 5 hours or more, the ice cream is scoopable.
Notes
You can add in any toppings desired to this recipe, yummy!
