Instructions:
Making the Chocolate Mixture:
- Gather all your ingredients – whipping cream, whole milk, cocoa powder, sweetened condensed milk, and tightly packed brown sugar.
- In a small pan, combine the milk and brown sugar over low heat. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves completely. Be cautious not to boil the mixture; a gentle warming is sufficient.
- After the sugar has completely dissolved, take the pan off the heat. Then, incorporate the cocoa powder into the mixture and stir until it’s smooth.
- Incorporate the condensed milk and vanilla extract into the mixture. Set it aside to cool at room temperature.
Whipping the Cream:
- Using a stand mixer or electric beater, whip the chilled cream on high speed until stiff peaks form. This usually takes a few minutes. Ensure the cream doesn’t fall when the bowl is turned upside down.
Making the Chocolate Ice Cream:
- Carefully fold the chocolate mixture into the whipped cream until evenly combined. Be gentle to maintain the volume of the cream.
- Transfer the mixture into a container or box, seal it tightly, and place it in the freezer.
- Allow the ice cream to freeze for 8 to 9 hours or overnight until it’s set.
- Prior to serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Then, scoop it into bowls or cups.
- Optionally, garnish with chocolate sauce for an extra indulgent treat.
