Why This Recipe Works
- fresh, 4-ingredient homemade ice cream recipe
- no-churn ice cream, making this a 10 minute recipe before chilling
- lasts in the freezer for up to 2 months
Ingredients
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: You’ll need one, standard 14oz can of sweetened condensed milk. This serves as the base of the recipe.
- Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: Cocoa powder is where this dessert gets its chocolate flavor. Any type and brand will work, but I use a dark chocolate cocoa powder for color and taste.
- Heavy Whipping Cream: You'll beat cold heavy whipping cream before folding it into the condensed milk and cocoa powder mixture.
- Brownie Crumbs: You'll crush up any brownies of your choice to add to the ice cream. You can use a box mix, a store-bought brownie, or a homemade recipe. I suggest this Small Batch Fudgy Brownie recipe if you'd like a super simple but delicious brownie from scratch.
Process
STEP 1: Add sweetened condensed milk and unsweetened cocoa powder to a medium bowl. Stir the two ingredients together with a spoon or spatula until combined.
STEP 2: In a large bowl with a hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat heavy whipping cream on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until it forms stiff peaks. This means that when the beater is lifted out of the bowl, the heavy whipping cream will form a “mountain” that holds its shape and does not curl over.
STEP 3: Next, add the sweetened condensed milk and cocoa powder mixture to the heavy cream. Then, use a rubber spatula to gently fold the mixture together until you see no streaks of the chocolate mixture.
STEP 4: Stir the brownie crumbs into the ice cream before transferring it to the container of your choice. Top the ice cream with additional brownie crumbs as desired.
STEP 5: Top the container of ice cream with cling wrap or aluminum foil before placing it in the freezer for at least 6 hours to firm up.

Notes
Heavy Whipping Cream: Make sure to beat the heavy whipping cream until the mixture is fluffy, thick, and forms stiff peaks when a beater is lifted straight out of the mixture.
