Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream: This whips up beautifully for a creamy texture that holds its shape. Be sure to use cold cream for the best results.
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk: Adds sweetness and creaminess, creating that rich ice cream base. You can use low-fat versions if desired.
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder: For that deep chocolate flavor, sift it for a smoother mix. Dutch-processed cocoa adds velvety richness.
  • 1 cup brownie chunks: These add fudgy bites throughout the ice cream. You can use your favorite homemade brownie recipe or store-bought ones for convenience.
  • 1/4 cup chocolate fudge sauce: Swirled into the mix, it enhances the chocolate richness. You can make your own or use store-bought for simplicity.

How to Make No Churn Chocolate Fudge Brownie Ice Cream

  1. Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, pour in 2 cups of heavy whipping cream. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the cream until stiff peaks form—this will take about 3-5 minutes. The whipped cream should hold its form and look fluffy.

  2. Mix the Sweetened Condensed Milk: In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk with 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder. Stir until well combined and smooth; no lumps should remain.

  3. Combine Cream and Cocoa Mixture: Gently fold the cocoa mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula. Move carefully from the bottom to the top to retain the volume you’ve created in the whipped cream.

  4. Add Brownie Chunks: Once combined, fold in 1 cup of brownie chunks. Make sure they’re evenly distributed, giving you pockets of fudgy goodness.

  5. Swirl in Fudge Sauce: Now, drizzle 1/4 cup of chocolate fudge sauce into the mixture. Use a skewer or knife to swirl the fudge throughout the ice cream without completely blending it.

  6. Freeze: Pour the entire mixture into a lidded, freezer-safe container. Smooth the top and cover with a lid or plastic wrap. Place the container in the freezer for at least 6 hours or overnight for the best texture.

  7. Serve and Enjoy: When you’re ready to serve, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Use a scoop to dish out the ice cream, and enjoy!

Storing & Reheating

To store your No Churn Chocolate Fudge Brownie Ice Cream, keep it in an airtight container in your freezer for up to 3 months. Ensure the lid is sealed tightly to prevent freezer burn. If you happen to have any leftovers, just bring it out a few minutes before serving to let it soften slightly for easier scooping. The texture may change slightly over time, so having a drizzle of chocolate fudge sauce on top can refresh its flavor beautifully!

Chef’s Helpful Tips

  • Avoid over-whipping the cream; stop as soon as you reach stiff peaks to prevent a grainy texture.
  • If using store-bought brownies, pay attention to the texture; stickier brownies provide a lovely chew.
  • For a creamy and delightful flavor, keep all your ingredients cold before mixing.
  • Experiment with mix-ins like crushed Oreos, chocolate chips, or nuts to customize your ice cream.
  • If the ice cream is too firm when you’re ready to serve, allowing it to sit out a bit will help you get better scoops.

No Churn Chocolate Fudge Brownie Ice Cream is one of those recipes you’ll want to make again and again. It’s so straightforward and delicious, you might just find yourself in a never-ending summer of ice cream. Feel free to experiment with flavors and toppings to make it your own. I can’t wait for you to try it and savor each delightful bite!
