Chocolate Non-Churn Ice Cream
Ingredients

- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Whisk the cocoa powder into the sweetened condensed milk until smooth.
- Add vanilla and salt.
- Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks.
- Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until no streaks remain.
- Freeze 6 hours or overnight.
Rocky Road Variation
Use the Chocolate Ice Cream recipe above, then fold in:
Add-ins
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Optional: 1/2 cup chopped toasted almonds or pecans
Fold the add-ins into the finished chocolate base before freezing.
Mint Chocolate Chip Variation
Start with the Vanilla Ice Cream recipe.
Add-ins
- 1 to 1½ teaspoons peppermint extract (adjust to taste)
- 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Optional
- A few drops of green food coloring (3-5)
Mix the peppermint extract into the condensed milk mixture before folding in the whipped cream. Fold in the chocolate chips last, then freeze.
Tip for Extra-Creamy Texture
For easier scooping and a richer texture, add:
- 1 tablespoon vodka (the alcohol won’t freeze solid), or
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
to any flavor before freezing.
Small-Batch Yield
Each recipe makes about 1½ quarts (6 cups), enough for roughly 10–12 scoops. If you’re making several flavors at once, you can prepare one batch of the base and divide it into thirds before adding the flavorings and mix-ins. This works especially well for vanilla, rocky road, and mint chocolate chip side-by-side.
Happy Creating!
