Ingredients
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together cocoa powder and sugar until evenly combined.
- Slowly add milk, whisking until the sugar and cocoa are fully dissolved.
- Stir in heavy cream and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer’s instructions (about 20–25 minutes) until thickened to a soft-serve consistency.
- Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container, smooth the top, cover, and freeze for 2–4 hours until firm.
Notes
- For extra indulgence, mix in chocolate chips, cookie chunks, or fudge swirls before freezing.
- If too firm after freezing, let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping.
- Can be made without an ice cream maker by freezing the mixture and stirring every 30 minutes for 3–4 hours.
