Get ready to indulge with this easy no churn chocolate ice cream recipe that’s sure to make your summer a little more sweet. It’s full of chocolate and gooey caramel and only takes 10 minutes to put together without an ice cream machine!
No Churn Chocolate Ice Cream
Before you say ice cream’s too hard to make, in this recipe you only need a bowl, a spoon, a few ingredients (gooey caramel!), and a freezer. You might find that it’s so easy to make that you’ll be tempted to whip up another batch before your container runs out!
That’s what I do with this recipe and my chocolate peanut butter ice cream recipe. Once I see my ice cream container’s low, I quickly get started on another batch to ensure there was more for us tomorrow.
And this chocolate ice cream without a machine takes me only 10 minutes to put all together to then freeze overnight. Homemade ice cream for the win!
Why you’ll love this recipe
Ingredients Needed
- Heavy whipping cream: you can’t skip this ingredient when making no churn ice cream
- Chocolate milk: or chocolate coffee creamer
- Baking chocolate: I’m using semi-sweet baking chocolate to melt
- Sweetened condensed milk: nonfat sweetened condensed milk works just as well
- Chocolate fudge: I’m using my homemade hot fudge recipe
- Caramel ice cream topping: store-bought or my easy homemade caramel recipe
How to make Chocolate Ice Cream
- Place heavy whipping cream and chocolate coffee creamer in a large bowl.
- Beat until whipped cream forms (you can use a hand or a stand mixer).
- Mix in the baking chocolate and sweetened condensed milk until the mixture resembles a thick whipped cream.
- Drizzle some of the fudge and caramel sauces in the bowl and gently fold them into the ice cream base to swirl. Don’t completely mix it.
- Transfer the ice cream mixture to a sealable container or large loaf pan.
- Drizzle more chocolate fudge and caramel on top.
- Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours or until hard.
Expert Tips
- Substitute any flavor coffee creamer or chocolate milk (we love Fairlife chocolate milk) for this recipe
- Swap the caramel sauce for more hot fudge, or omit and add other mix-ins like chopped cookies or candy.
- You can omit both the fudge and caramel for a plain chocolate ice cream.
