You won’t believe how easy it is to make this rich mocha ice cream. The ice cream is flavored with a combination of cocoa powder, espresso powder, and vanilla. Only 5 ingredients and no cooking required!
The heavy cream is whipped and folded into the cocoa and condensed milk mixture. All you have to do is give it about 15 to 30 minutes in the freezer, then leave the rest up to your ice cream maker and freezer.
Variations
- For chocolate chip ice cream, melt about 2 ounces of semisweet chocolate chips with 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil. During the last 5 minutes of churning, drip the chocolate into the churning mixture. The chocolate will freeze into little shards, making a delicious chocolate chip ice cream that is similar to straciatella gelato.
- Add a few tablespoons of chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs during the last few minutes of churning.
