Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt (enhances chocolate flavor)
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips or chunks (optional)

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Spatula
  • loaf pan or freezer-safe container
  • sifter

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, sift cocoa powder to remove lumps. Add sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and salt. Whisk until smooth.
  2. In another bowl, whip chilled heavy cream with an electric mixer on high until stiff peaks form (3–4 minutes).
  3. Fold whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in three additions, keeping it light and airy.
  4. Stir in chocolate chips or chunks, if using.
  5. Transfer mixture into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container. Smooth top, cover tightly, and freeze at least 6 hours.
  6. Let sit at room temperature 5 minutes before scooping for best texture.

Notes

Customize by adding nuts, swirls of peanut butter, or crushed cookies for texture. Store in a freezer-safe container covered tightly for up to 2 weeks. For easy scooping, let it rest at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
