No Churn Chocolate Ice Cream – The easiest chocolate ice cream recipe ever! Made with just 5 simple ingredients, this ice cream tastes so good!

No Churn Chocolate Ice Cream

I am so excited to have another ice cream recipe to share with you guys! After my vanilla bean ice cream came out a few weeks ago, I was super excited to try my hand at making some other versions of that same easy, no churn ice cream. The first one had to be a chocolate version!

The thing I love about this recipe is that it is made with just 5 ingredients in about 10 minutes. The worst part is just wait for the ice cream to firm up in the freezer but trust me, it is completely worth it! It tastes just as good as the ice cream you get at any ice cream shop during the summer.

The cool part about this recipe is that it is completely customizable and you can really make it extra delicious by adding in things like a swirl of peanut butter and chopped Reese’s cups, a swirl of chocolate syrup, or even a swirl of salted caramel sauce to make it your own! Just add your add-ins in before transferring it to the container you plan on freezing the ice cream in or if you are adding a swirl of a sauce, drizzle it on top once it is in that container and run a knife through it to swirl it around. The options are endless!

Total Time 4 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients

4 ounces good quality chocolate, chopped
1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces)
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups heavy whipping cream

Instructions

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 to a silicone ice cream tub or a metal loaf pan and place in the freezer overnight to chill.
Once the ice cream has hardened, enjoy with your favorite toppings.
