Time 6h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
⅔ cup chocolate syrup
2 cups heavy cream

Steps:

  • Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with aluminum foil. In a large bowl, stir together condensed milk and chocolate syrup until color is even. In a separate bowl, whip cream until stiff peaks form. Fold cream into chocolate mixture and pour all into prepared pan. Cover and freeze 6 hours, until firm.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will directly impact the flavor of your ice cream. Opt for a chocolate with a high cacao content (70% or higher) and avoid chocolate with added sugars or artificial flavors.
  • Use heavy cream: Heavy cream will give your ice cream a rich and creamy texture. If you don't have heavy cream on hand, you can substitute it with milk, but your ice cream will be less creamy.
  • Chill your ingredients: Chilling your ingredients before making the ice cream will help it freeze more evenly and prevent it from becoming icy.
  • Use an ice cream maker: An ice cream maker will churn the ice cream and incorporate air, which will give it a smooth and creamy texture. If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make ice cream by hand, but it will take longer and the texture will be less smooth.
  • Freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours: This will allow the ice cream to fully set and develop its flavor.

Conclusion:

Making chocolate ice cream at home is a fun and easy way to enjoy a delicious and refreshing treat. With just a few simple ingredients and an ice cream maker, you can create a variety of delicious chocolate ice cream flavors that are sure to please everyone.
