Chocolate ice cream needs no introduction! The chocolate flavor is one of the classic ice cream flavors and a favorite among all age groups. And surprisingly, making it at home is easy with only four ingredients and minimal effort.
This is an easy recipe to make a decadent no-egg chocolate ice cream without condensed milk in the Cuisinart ice cream machine with a creamy texture.
Chocolate ice cream is a dessert that is enjoyed all year round. It is perfect to serve at kids' birthday parties, enjoy it on Valentine's day, or make it for the holidays. You will absolutely love this creamy and delicious ice cream.
Ingredients
This is an eggless, no-cook homemade chocolate ice cream recipe without condensed milk 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.
Heavy cream and whole milk make the ice cream creamy in texture. If you use a low-fat milk then the ice cream will be runny and will also take longer to churn.
One of the great advantages of homemade ice cream is to have control over the ingredients and use healthier options such as organic milk and organic cane sugar.
Instructions
Making chocolate ice cream is an easy two-step process. The first step is to prepare the mixture and chill it in the refrigerator and then the second step is to churn it in the ice cream maker.
Using a hand blender whisk attachment, 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 of 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. There is no need to use the blender at this point as the mixture will be churned in the ice cream maker.
The ice cream mixture is now ready. For best results and reduce overall churn time, chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about two hours.
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.
Equipment
I have used the Cuisinart ICE 100 compressor ice cream maker. However, any other ice cream maker can work fine. If you have a larger capacity ice cream maker using a freezer bowl or the salt and ice type, you can scale the recipe to adapt to your ice cream maker.
I love the compressor ice cream maker because there is no need to freeze the bowl and I can make batch after batch of ice creams in one day.

Serving suggestions
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 grated chocolate.
You can also add some chocolate syrup or caramel sauce. You can also serve it in the banana split sundae or enjoy it with a sizzling brownie.
Storage
You can store the ice cream in the freezer for up to a month. This ice cream is so delicious that it will be gone before you know 🙂.
Top tip
- If you are using a compressor machine, precooling the ice cream bowl for 5-10 minutes helps reduce the overall churning time.
- If you make batch after batch of ice creams in a compressor ice cream maker, after rinsing the bowl with water, pat dry it well. This prevents ice from forming on the outside of the bowl while churning which can make it difficult to remove from the machine.

Hi Lisa, I'm looking forward to making this recipe but I only have a small ice cream maker (it makes 500mls). What volume of ice cream does this chocolate ice cream recipe produce please? Many thanks.

This recipe makes about 1 quart (~ 1 litre) of ice cream. Hope this helps.

Lisa says
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
