Super Easy Chocolate Ice Cream
I love this ice cream. Smooth, creamy and full of chocolate flavor. What’s not to love? This is also the simplest ice cream recipe I have ever made. Seriously – the easiest.
For starters, you don’t need an ice cream maker. And the recipe is only two ingredients. You really can’t get easier than that.
This would be a fun recipe for kids to make for Father’s Day.
This recipe came about because I hate to waste anything. I had a carton of heavy whipping cream that was getting close to it’s expiration date. I didn’t need it for anything, but didn’t want to waste it. I decided I could use it to make ice cream.
It was late and I was tired, so I wanted a quick fix. I put the whipping cream in my stand mixer and whipped it up. Once it got to stiff peaks, I started adding chocolate syrup. With the mixer still running, I kept adding syrup until the mixture was the color I wanted. I figured when it was the color of chocolate ice cream, I had added enough syrup.
I put the mixture in a quart container, put on the lid, and popped it in the freezer. It was a couple of days before I remembered it was in there. I gave it a taste. I was so pleased. It was very creamy and smooth.
So here is the recipe, although I guess I sort of already told you what to do.
