No Churn Chocolate Ice Cream is a rich, creamy, and indulgent frozen treat made with simple ingredients—no ice cream maker needed. Packed with deep chocolate flavor, it’s easy to make and perfect for satisfying any chocolate craving.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cold heavy cream
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 4 oz semi-sweet or dark chocolate, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips, crushed cookies, chopped nuts, or fudge swirl

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, melted chocolate, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with a hand or stand mixer until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in batches, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
  4. Once fully incorporated, pour the mixture into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container.
  5. If using mix-ins, gently swirl them in now.
  6. Smooth the top, cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
  7. Let sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping and serving.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
  • Fold the whipped cream gently to maintain the light, airy structure.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of alcohol (like vodka or coffee liqueur) to improve scoopability.
  • For deeper flavor, use Dutch-process cocoa powder.
  • Store tightly covered to prevent ice crystal formation.
