Skip the ice cream maker and try this quick and easy chocolate ice cream. Only 5 ingredients are required and just 10 minutes prep!
Since giving it a first try many years ago, I have been completely hooked on this no-Churn chocolate Ice Cream.
This is probably the simplest method to make homemade ice cream and calls for double cream and condensed milk.
Just two ingredients — that's it!
For this easy chocolate ice cream, I opted for a combo of dark chocolate and cocoa powder and added chocolate chips in the end for extra texture.
I prepared my own condensed milk, but you can totally use store-bought condensed milk.
If you have never made homemade condensed milk, believe me, it's SO worth a try.
Making it from scratch is a bit more time-consuming but definitely rewarding, plus you know exactly what goes in.
Back to this amazing No-Churn Chocolate Ice Cream, did I already say that is WAY TOO EASY to make?
All it takes is a mixer to whip up the cream (but you can also do it by hand), then simply fold in condensed milk, cocoa powder, chocolate and vanilla extract. That's the hardest part, really.
Transfer the mixture to a freeze-friendly container (I like to use a loaf pan), freeze, and just wait until the ice cream is ready.
No cooking, No mixing, and no churning involved. Just awesome, creamy, rich and smooth ice cream, ready to enjoy all summer long.
This 5-ingredient naturally gluten-free no-churn chocolate ice cream is easy, quick, completely fuss-free and 100% summer approved!

This is an epic recipe. I make it regularly for my husband and I with double the chocolate chips! I'm finding it a bit too sweet despite the dark and semi bitter chocolate combination- any way to reduce the amount of condensed milk, maybe substitute with evaporated milk?

Leave out the condensed milk all together & use equal amounts of cream & 53% chocolate. No other ingreds! I’ve made this & it works👍
