Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 can (14 ounces) Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.5 cup Cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
- 0.75 cup Chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
- 0.5 cup Toasted almonds (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt until smooth and fully combined. Ensure the cocoa powder is thoroughly incorporated with no lumps.
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped toasted almonds until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
If using an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into the machine and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Once churned, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours, or until firm.
If making by hand, pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Cover tightly and freeze for about 1 hour. After 1 hour, remove the container and stir the mixture vigorously to break up any ice crystals. Repeat this process every 30 minutes for 3-4 hours until the ice cream is creamy and fully set.
When ready to serve, scoop the chocolate almond ice cream into bowls or cones. Optionally, garnish with extra chopped almonds or a drizzle of melted chocolate for added flair.
Store the leftover ice cream in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
