Description
Rich and creamy no-churn chocolate ice cream emerges as a delightful dessert without complicated techniques. Chocolate lovers can easily craft this indulgent treat, enjoying a smooth, luxurious scoop that satisfies sweet cravings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 1 14-oz (300 ml) can sweetened condensed milk
- ¼ cup (60 ml) chocolate fudge sauce
- 2 tbsps cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt (optional)
Instructions
- Cream Preparation: Whip heavy cream in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer at medium speed until stiff, glossy peaks form, creating a luxurious base for the ice cream.
- Flavor Fusion: Incorporate sweetened condensed milk, chocolate sauce, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and kosher salt into the whipped cream, gently folding with a silicone spatula to maintain the cream’s airy texture and create a smooth, uniform mixture.
- Freezing Process: Pour the chocolate cream mixture into a 9-inch loaf pan or 2-quart ceramic dish, smoothing the surface evenly, then transfer to the freezer for 4-6 hours or overnight to allow complete solidification and flavor development.
- Serving Technique: Remove the ice cream from the freezer and let it rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, allowing it to soften and achieve a perfect, creamy consistency before scooping and indulging in the rich chocolate dessert.
Notes
- Whip Cream Technique: Achieve glossy, stiff peaks by using an electric mixer at medium speed, which ensures the perfect foundation for a smooth, creamy no-churn ice cream.
- Mixing Matters: Gently fold ingredients to maintain the whipped cream’s airy texture, avoiding overmixing that could deflate the mixture and compromise the ice cream’s light consistency.
- Freezing Finesse: Allow 4-6 hours or preferably overnight freezing to develop rich flavors and create a perfectly smooth, scoopable texture.
- Serving Tip: Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving to soften and enhance its creamy, indulgent mouthfeel.
