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!

Creating your own no churn chocolate fudge brownie ice cream is not only delicious but incredibly satisfying. This method gives you complete control over the flavor and texture! Plus, sharing this homemade ice cream with family or friends makes it even sweeter. You can customize and play around to make it your own.
