Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 14-ounce (300 milliliters) can sweetened condensed milk
Flavor Enhancers:
- ¼ cup chocolate fudge sauce
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
Seasoning:
- 1 pinch salt (optional)
Instructions
- Whip heavy cream (354 milliliters or 12 fluid ounces) in a spacious mixing vessel using an electric hand mixer at medium velocity until it develops sturdy, upright peaks with a glossy texture.
- Gently introduce sweetened condensed milk, rich chocolate sauce, unsweetened cocoa powder, pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of kosher salt into the whipped cream.
- Blend the ingredients using low-speed mixing or delicately fold with a silicone spatula until the mixture achieves a uniform, velvety consistency without overmixing.
- Transfer the luxurious chocolate cream mixture into a standard 9-inch (23-centimeter) loaf pan or a 2-quart (1.9-liter) ceramic baking dish, ensuring an even surface.
- Place the container in the freezer and allow the mixture to solidify completely, typically requiring 4-6 hours or preferably overnight for optimal texture and flavor development.
- When ready to serve, remove the ice cream from the freezer and let it rest at ambient temperature for approximately 15-20 minutes, which will soften the dessert and enhance its creamy mouthfeel.
Notes
- Skip whisking egg yolks or heating custard with this simple no-churn method that saves time and reduces kitchen cleanup.
- Achieve ultra-creamy texture without an ice cream machine by whipping heavy cream to create light, airy base.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to two weeks, ensuring consistent deliciousness throughout storage period.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate sauce for deeper, richer chocolate flavor that elevates the entire dessert.
- Room temperature resting is crucial for scoopable consistency, preventing icy or rock-hard texture when serving.
- Customize by adding mix-ins like chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or swirls of caramel during final mixing stage for personalized treat.
