Homemade chocolate ice cream ingredients
This is an eggless, no-cook homemade chocolate ice cream recipe in an ice cream maker. The main ingredients are heavy cream, whole milk, cacao powder (you can use cocoa powder), sugar, and a pinch of salt.
One of the great advantages of homemade ice cream is the control over ingredients, i.e. one has the option to use healthier options such as organic milk and organic cane sugar.
How to make chocolate ice cream
Making chocolate ice cream is an easy two-step process. First step is to prepare the mixture and chill it in the refrigerator and then second step is to churn it in the ice cream maker.
Make chocolate ice cream mixture
Using a hand blender or Vitamix or any other blender, blend the sugar, milk, cacao powder, and salt on medium speed until all sugar dissolves and there are no lumps.
It is important to blend milk and sugar well to get a smooth and creamy texture ice cream else it can turn out to be a hard icy block after freezing.
Add the heavy cream and gently stir it with a spoon or spatula (no need to use the blender) and the mixture is now ready.
For best results chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about two hours.
Make chocolate ice cream in ice cream maker
Before pouring the mixture into the ice cream maker, give it a final mix to ensure even consistency. Churn the mixture for about 35-40 minutes until the ice cream is of soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze it for about 6 hours.

Serving and storing chocolate ice cream
Enjoy the delicious homemade chocolate ice cream scoop in your favorite sugar cones, waffle cones or mini cones. You can top it with some chocolate syrup, sprinkles or some grated chocolate.
You can store the ice cream in the freezer for up to a month but it does not last that long in my family.

If I don’t have an ice cream maker to churn it, what else can I use?
Alpa Jain says
Hi Lisa,
You can use a blender and blend all the ingredients. Freeze it for 2-3 hours. Blend it again and then freeze it for 5-6 hours before serving.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Alpa
