Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 can (14 oz) Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.5 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate (chopped or grated)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk together until fully combined and smooth. Set aside.
In another large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This should take about 4-5 minutes.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cocoa mixture in three batches. Use a spatula and work carefully to avoid deflating the whipped cream, ensuring the mixture stays light and airy.
Once the whipped cream and cocoa mixture are fully combined, fold in the chopped or grated dark chocolate for added texture and flavor.
Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula and cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid.
Freeze for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm and scoopable.
Serve chilled in bowls or ice cream cones, garnished with additional dark chocolate shavings if desired.
