No-Churn Chocolate Ice Cream

Hi Everyone!

I am all about the easy recipes that give you satisfying results and this No-Churn Chocolate Ice Cream is one of them!

There are only 3 required ingredients to make this No-Churn Chocolate Ice Cream!

I recommend giving the ice cream a few minutes to warm up before scooping when it's ready.

It can be customized by adding candy, fruit before freezing or toppings for serving when it's ready.

This is a perfect recipe for a supervised kids activity and they will be blown away that they made their OWN ice cream!

Ingredients

• 1 pint (2 cups) heavy whipping cream - I prefer and recommend organic
• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• ⅛ teaspoon cream of tartar, optional
• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, use the best quality you can find

Kitchen Tools

Ingredients

• 1 pint (2 cups) whipping cream, I prefer and recommend organic
• 1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
• ⅛ teaspoon cream of tartar, optional
• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, I recommend finding the best quality possible

Instructions

1. For best results, chill a medium-large metal (not required but preferred) mixing bowl in the freezer for 5-10 minutes before starting the recipe.
2. Whip heavy whipping cream until it has bubbles, then add cream of tartar (optional) and the ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder; continue whipping to stiff peaks.
3. Using a baking spatula, gently fold the sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream until combined and there are no streaks and the color is uniform. Please note: Do not over mix or the mixture will deflate.
4. Cover with a layer of plastic wrap and then aluminum foil (to prevent frost from accumulating). Freeze for at least 6 hours and preferably overnight.
5. When it's ready, serve with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
