How to Make the Best No Churn Chocolate Ice Cream

1. Melt chopped semi-sweet chocolate in microwave, microwaving and stirring in 30 second increments until melted and smooth.
2. Combine the melted chocolate, condensed milk, cocoa powder, chocolate or vanilla extract, and salt in a medium bowl, whisking until smooth.
3. Using a mixer, whip the cream until it holds stiff peaks.
4. Fold the chocolate mixture into the whipped cream, then transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container.  Freeze for up to 1 to 2 hours until frozen.

How to Make Low-Fat No Churn Chocolate Ice Cream

To make this Low-Fat No Churn Chocolate Ice Cream, use fat-free sweetened condensed milk and instead of using heavy whipping cream, use 2 (8-ounce) containers of low-fat or thawed fat-free Cool Whip.

The ice cream will have a creamier texture, but it still tastes amazing!

Mix Ins

• Add up to 2 cups of any mix ins to the ice cream to amp up flavor combos!
• If you want to add in mix ins, add them in after you've mixed up the ice cream for the last step.  Fold in chocolate, caramel or marshmallow swirls, m&m's, mini chocolate chips, chopped candies, sprinkles and whatever sounds good really!
• Make sure larger ingredients like nuts, cookies, jumbo marshmallows, chocolate chunks, brownies, Reese cups, ect., will become rock hard when frozen, so it helps if they’re chopped up first.

Serving Ice Cream

• To serve, allow the ice cream to sit for a few minutes at room temperature, so it softens and makes it easier to scoop.  
• Wet an ice cream scoop with warm water and scoop into dishes, cones, or right from the loaf pan! 
• This style of ice cream will melt a little quicker than usual custard based ice creams, so it's like a soft serve style!  

Freezing Homemade Ice Cream

Keep the container tightly sealed to avoid freezer burn and this homemade no-churn ice cream will last for up to 1-2 months in the freezer.

This chocolate ice cream for an easy summer sweet treat for any occasion!  Birthdays, holidays and more, ice cream is always welcome!  Make some today, it's 90 degrees here and we're calling for ice cream for sure!
