Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup Dutch process cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the cocoa powder with boiling water until smooth and glossy. Let it cool slightly.
- Stir in sweetened condensed milk, salt, and vanilla extract (if using) into the cocoa mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to medium-stiff peaks.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate base in batches, keeping the mixture light and airy.
- Pour into a loaf pan or airtight container, smooth the top, and press parchment on the surface. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Notes
- Dutch process cocoa creates a smoother, richer chocolate flavor, but regular cocoa can be used.
- Let ice cream sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping.
- For a vegan version, use coconut cream and sweetened condensed coconut milk.
- Fold in extras like chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or flavor extracts before freezing.
