Ingredients
Ice Cream Base
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14 oz / 414 ml
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup half-and-half 120 ml
- 1/2 cup dark cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips 248 g
Cream Mixture
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream 360 ml
Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and half-and-half until smooth.
- Add the dark cocoa powder and mix well until fully blended and no dry spots remain.
- Stir in the dark chocolate chips so they are evenly spread throughout the mixture.
Whipping Cream
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
- Gently fold the chocolate mixture into the whipped cream until you have a smooth, even ice cream base.
Freezing
- Spoon or pour the mixture into ice cream bar molds, then insert the wooden sticks.
- Freeze uncovered for 3 to 5 hours, or until fully firm. For best results, leave them overnight.
Serving
- Remove the bars from the molds and serve immediately.
- Keep leftovers in a covered freezer-safe container for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
Carefully manage the folding of the mixtures for a light, airy texture. Add more chocolate chips or crushed cookies for added crunch. High-quality dark chocolate chips enhance the flavor.
