Ingredients You’ll Need
- 2 cups heavy cream: This gives the ice cream its rich, creamy texture. Avoid low-fat versions; you want all the lusciousness!
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk: This acts as the base, making the ice cream sweet and creamy. Look for full-fat options for the best results.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: For that warm, aromatic flavor. Pure vanilla extract is best, but you can use imitation if you’re in a pinch.
- 1 cup brownie chunks: These can be homemade or store-bought; just make sure they are fudgy for the best bite.
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder: This intensifies the chocolate flavor. Unsweetened cocoa powder works great here.
How to Make No Churn Chocolate Fudge Brownie Ice Cream
- Prepare the Mixing Bowl: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of heavy cream and beat with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. The texture should resemble whipped cream.
- Combine Ingredients: In another bowl, mix together 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder until well combined. This creates a smooth, chocolatey base.
- Fold the Mixtures Together: Gently fold the chocolate mixture into the whipped cream. Use a spatula and fold from the bottom upwards, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream too much. You want to keep that light and airy texture!
- Add the Brownie Chunks: Carefully fold in 1 cup of brownie chunks until evenly distributed through the mixture. The brownies will add delightful bites of fudgy goodness.
- Transfer to Container: Scoop the ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container, spreading it out evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula and cover it with a lid or plastic wrap.
- Freeze: Place the container in the freezer for at least 6 hours, or until fully firm. For best texture, it’s ideal to leave it overnight.
- Serve: When ready to serve, use a warm scoop to help release the ice cream. Enjoy scoops in bowls or cones, topped with chocolate syrup if desired!
Storing & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container, ensuring it’s well-sealed to prevent freezer burn. It will stay fresh in the freezer for up to 3 months. Just remember, the texture may change slightly upon freezing, becoming a bit harder, so allow it to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before scooping. If it seems too soft, pop it back in the freezer for a bit longer to firm up.
Chef’s Helpful Tips
- To avoid icy ice cream, make sure you whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This step is crucial for creating a light texture.
- If you’re using store-bought brownies, try to choose a fudge-style brownie for the best results.
- For an extra chocolatey flavor, add in some chocolate chips or fudge swirl to the mixture before freezing.
- Allow the ice cream to soften a bit at room temperature before serving for easier scooping.
- If you’re short on time, store-bought ice cream can serve as a base—just fold in brownies and freeze!
