3 Parts to Dark Chocolate Ice Cream
This is just a quick overview of the method for this ice cream. As always, specific measurements and step-by-step instructions are included in the printable recipe box at the bottom of the post.
CHOCOLATE GANACHE: Warm the heavy cream until it starts forming bubbles around the edge, then pour over the chopped dark chocolate. Set aside for a few minutes, then stir until smooth. Stir in the salt.
CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM: Whip the heavy whipping cream, cocoa powder, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Fold in the sweetened condensed milk.
FREEZING: Pour half into a freezer-safe container, then drizzle with half of the ganache. Top with the remaining ice cream and ganache, then drag a knife through the ice cream to swirl the ganache. Freeze for at least 4 hours.
FAQs
No-churn ice cream is made without an ice cream maker. Instead of the ice cream maker incorporating air into the ice cream, which makes it soft and fluffy, heavy whipping cream is whipped incorporating air before freezing.
Before freezing, press a piece of plastic wrap against the surface of the ice cream.
You can replace the heavy whipping cream with coconut cream and the sweetened condensed milk with sweetened condensed coconut milk.
