Ingredients You’ll Need

2 cups heavy whipping cream: This forms the base of your ice cream, creating that light and airy texture. Use cold whipping cream for the best volume when whipping.
1 cup sweetened condensed milk: This adds sweetness and a creamy texture without any churning. Avoid using evaporated milk; it won’t provide the same rich flavor.
1 cup cocoa powder: The main flavor component. Use unsweetened cocoa for a rich chocolatey taste.
2 cups brownie chunks: Whether homemade or store-bought, these add a chewy texture and fudgy surprise. You can sub chocolate chips if you prefer.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract: This rounds out the flavors beautifully. Pure vanilla extract works best, but imitation is fine too if that’s what you have.

How to Make No Churn Chocolate Fudge Brownie Ice Cream

Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, whip the 2 cups of heavy whipping cream until you reach stiff peaks. This should take about 3-5 minutes. The peaks should hold their shape when you lift the mixer.
Mix the Base: In another bowl, combine the 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup of cocoa powder, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cocoa mixture a little at a time. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream; you want to keep that airy texture.
Fold in Brownies: Once combined, fold in 2 cups of brownie chunks. You can save some for layering on top if you like! This is where the goodness happens, as the brownies create a delightful surprise in each scoop.
Freezing: Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top and add any remaining brownie chunks on the surface. Cover tightly with a lid or plastic wrap.
Chill: Freeze the ice cream for at least 6 hours or until firm, preferably overnight for the best texture.

Storing & Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. It will stay fresh for about 2-3 months. However, the texture may change slightly as it freezes longer. To enjoy this creamy delight again, simply let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before scooping—this helps to soften it just enough to scoop effortlessly.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Use cold heavy cream for better whipping results. Chilling your mixing bowl and beaters also helps.
If your ice cream is too hard after freezing, let it sit out for a bit before scooping.
For added flavor, sprinkle in a pinch of sea salt to enhance the chocolate notes.
Double the recipe if you’re expecting a crowd—trust me, it’ll go fast!

No Churn Chocolate Fudge Brownie Ice Cream is one of those recipes that will become a beloved staple.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use different types of chocolate for this recipe?

Absolutely! While cocoa powder provides a deep flavor, you can also fold in melted chocolate or chocolate chips for added richness. Just make sure it’s cooled before adding it to the cream mixture.

How do I know when the whipped cream is ready?

You’ll know your whipped cream is done when it forms stiff peaks. This means that when you lift your mixer out, the cream should hold its shape and not droop. Be careful not to over-whip, or it may turn grainy.

What can I substitute for the brownie chunks?

If you don’t have brownies on hand, chocolate chips, cookie dough, or even crushed chocolate cookies could work wonderfully as alternatives. You can even get creative with your favorite candy bars.

Is this ice cream gluten-free?

Yes, it can be gluten-free if you use gluten-free brownies or brownie mix. Always check the labels of your ingredients to ensure they meet your diet needs.
