Ingredients

To make this delightful 3 Ingredient Ice Cream, you’ll need:

• 1 – 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk (396g)
• 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder (50g)

Full ingredient list with measurements is provided in the printable recipe card below.

How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s get to the fun part – making our Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream Without Eggs! Follow these simple steps:

1. Add all the heavy whipping cream to a large bowl. Mix for several minutes until you have light fluffy whipped cream with stiff peaks. The little peaks created when you pull the beaters out of the cream will not curl over.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and cocoa powder. Mix until well combined; it will resemble thick chocolate.
3. Pour the chocolate condensed milk mixture over the whipped cream. Using a spatula, gently fold them together. Be careful not to use a mixer or whisk, as this will ruin the fluffy air you’ve created in the whipped cream. Keep folding until there are no streaks of white from the whipped cream.
4. Transfer the ice cream mixture into a container with a lid. Place plastic wrap on top, ensuring it touches the surface of the ice cream to prevent freezer burn and ice crystals. Then add the lid. If you don’t have a lid, the plastic wrap will work just fine. Freeze for 4 to 6 hours or overnight. If you prefer a softer serve consistency, you can remove it a little sooner.
5. Now it’s time to enjoy your ice cream! Remove the lid and plastic wrap, and scoop out the ice cream. You may need to let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes to soften before scooping. A little tip: dipping your scoop in hot water can make it easier to serve!

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some helpful suggestions to ensure your Homemade Ice Cream Recipes Machine turns out perfectly:

• Use cold heavy cream for better whipping results.
• Don’t rush the folding process; take your time to maintain the airiness of the whipped cream.
• Experiment with add-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or even a swirl of peanut butter for a fun twist!
• If you want a non-dairy version, substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream for a delicious Non-dairy Chocolate Ice Cream.

How to Serve

This ice cream is perfect on its own, but you can elevate your dessert experience with some fun serving ideas:

• Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings for a fancy touch.
• Serve in a waffle cone for a classic ice cream experience.
• Pair it with a slice of warm chocolate cake for a decadent dessert.
• Drizzle with caramel or chocolate sauce for an extra indulgent treat.

Make Ahead and Storage

This Old-fashioned Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream can be made ahead of time, making it a great option for parties or family gatherings. Here are some storage tips:

• Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
• To prevent ice crystals, always cover the surface with plastic wrap before sealing the container.
• If you notice the ice cream becoming too hard, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.
