How to Make Chocolate Ice Cream
This no churn chocolate ice cream takes so little time and effort to make for something that tastes so delicious. Making this ice cream is as simple as beating the ingredients in a stand mixer until soft peaks just begin to form, then freezing.
This ice cream is deliciously creamy with the most amazing flavor. My family think it tastes better than store-bought, it’s that good! Make sure to also try our apple pie ice cream and banana ice cream, too!

Ingredients
- 17 oz. sweetened condensed milk
- 2 ½ cups heavy cream
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoons salt
Instructions
- Add the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, cocoa powder vanilla extract and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the wire whisk attachment, beat on a low speed until combined. Slowly increase to a medium-high speed, and beat until soft peaks just begin to form, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.

Notes

- Beating the mixture until soft peaks just begin to form is the key to getting the perfect frozen texture.
- Chocolate chips or chocolate chunks could be folded through the mixture just before freezing.
