HOW TO MAKE THIS CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM RECIPE:
- Heat the chopped chocolate in a small, microwave safe bowl until melted. Whisk in the sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, and vanilla until well combined and smooth.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream on medium speed until it forms stiff peaks– about 2 minutes.
- Add the chocolate mixture to the whipped cream and fold it together gently– you don’t want to deflate it!
- Once the mixture is fully combined, transfer it to a silicone ice cream tub (or a metal loaf pan, either works) and place in the freezer overnight to chill.
- Once the ice cream has hardened, enjoy with your favorite toppings!

WHAT IS NO CHURN ICE CREAM?
No Churn Ice Cream is heavy whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk, and other flavorings that are beaten together and frozen into a container until it hardens.
No Churn Ice Cream can be adapted to many different flavors like this Chocolate version and sizes depending on how much you want. It is an easy recipe to whip up, literally.
The only difference between no churn and regular ice cream is that it melts faster because of the ingredients it contains.
