Description

No Churn Chocolate Ice Cream is a rich and creamy dessert that requires no ice cream machine. With just a few simple ingredients like heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, and melted semi-sweet chocolate, this homemade ice cream is packed with deep chocolate flavor and a smooth, velvety texture. The best part? No churning required—just mix, freeze, and enjoy a decadent frozen treat whenever you like!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt (optional, to enhance the chocolate flavor)

Instructions

  1. Whip the heavy cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. This will take about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Make the chocolate mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, melted semi-sweet chocolate, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt (if using). Whisk until smooth and well combined.
  3. Fold the mixtures together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream—fold until just combined and smooth.
  4. Transfer to a loaf pan: Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or any freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  5. Freeze the ice cream: Cover the container with plastic wrap or a lid and freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until the ice cream is firm and set.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Once frozen, scoop out the ice cream and serve! You can garnish it with chocolate chips, sprinkles, or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

If you want to make it extra smooth, ensure the chocolate is fully melted and mixed in well.For a fun twist, add mix-ins like chocolate chips, crushed cookies, or caramel swirls before freezing.Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to soften slightly for easier scooping.
