Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 1 can Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the heavy whipping cream. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed until it forms stiff peaks. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and fully combined.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cocoa mixture a little at a time using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream; use gentle, sweeping motions to incorporate.
If using chocolate chips, gently fold them into the mixture until evenly distributed.
Transfer the ice cream mixture to a freezer-safe container. Smooth out the surface with a spatula, and cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap.
Freeze the mixture for at least 6 hours, or until it is firm. For best results, let the ice cream sit in the freezer overnight.
To serve, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Use an ice cream scoop to serve and enjoy your homemade chocolate ice cream!
