Valentines Day is more special to me, as our son Varun was born on the same day. He is turning 8 this year and he wanted me to make Chocolate ice cream for his birthday. I made it yesterday evening and it turned out very well . I have tried mango ice cream , strawberry ice cream but this is the first one i have tried without condensed milk. But to my surprise it was very creamy. I adapted the recipe from here, which i bookmarked a long back. Try this chocolate ice cream this Valentine’s day and surprise your spouse. This ice cream requires no cooking. Even you can engage your kids in making this ice cream too.
Ingredients
Preparation Time : 15 mins | Standing Time : 6-8 Hours | Serves : 4-5
Cocoa Powder 1/2 cup
White Sugar 1/2 cup
Brown Sugar 1/4 cup
Milk 1/2 cup
Cream 1 cup
Vanilla essence 1 tsp
Chocolate chip cookies (Chopped) 1/2 cup (optional)
Method:
- In a wide bowl add the cocoa powder, both the sugar and vanilla essence .
- Add milk to this.
- Mix well without any lumps.
- Whip the cream using an electric beater. As i don’t have it i poured the whipping cream in a mixer and whipped it for few seconds. It turned out fantastic.
- Add this to the chocolate mix and fold it gently and evenly.
- Transfer it to a container . Freeze it for an hour and take out and blend this in a mixer for 2 minutes and put it back to freezer again.
- After an hour , if using chocolate chip cookies, pulse 4-5 cookies (i used store bought cookies) in a mixer and add it to the ice cream mix. Mix well and set it to freeze for 5-6 hours or over night.
- The ice cream will be set and you will get creamy chocolate ice cream .
- You can add chocolate chips instead of the cookies.
- Even finely chopped nuts (any nuts of your choice) can be added before you set it for freezing.
- I added both brown sugar and white sugar but you can add only white sugar. In that case add 3/4 cup of white sugar.
looks delicious wats the replacement to whipping cream..i cant find it so often..
whipping cream gives a good texture to icecream and it will not solidify as well… so yum and creamy it looks dear… so good…

Hi
Wanted to know wats brown sugar. Can I replace it with white.. I m not sure where to purchase it..
Polished sugar will be in white in colur and brown sugar unrefined or partially refined sugar . You can replace that with white sugar
If using whipped cream then how much quantity to use.planning to make it now.wonderful receipe.thank u.
You can use, use 1 cup will be enough
Hi, i made this ice cream today and it turned out just amazing!!!!absolutely like store bought icecream…thanks …….
Hi Jeyashri . Have u whipped the Cream in Mixie ? In that case how much time it takes to get whipped also the procedure of blending the icecream after it gets freezed should be repeated how many times to get a creamy texture .
Hi i whipped it in a mixie but if you have an electric beater please use it. In mixie though in 5 minutes it will be done but doesn't peak like electric beater.
Thank you Mam . As you have mentioned in some other Ice cream recipe should I blend the freezed ice cream 2-3 times to get creamy texture
No only once you do its en ough
can i add milkmaid in this chocolate ice cream….?
Yes you can add , in that case skip the white sugar. The ice cream will get freezed and if the cream is not beaten well it will not get freezed well
Hi jeyashri, I tried this recipe.my icecream turned out to have ice crystals. I used cream, condensed milk, beat the ice cream twice every one hour not sure what went wrong. I used air tight container to store them in freezer.
Even i am not sure where you have went wrong, did you reduce the quantity of cream or milk?
I thought having icecream is easier? but u proved cooking is also easier… ??
Best and easiest Ice cream recipe ever! Always come out great!
