Ingredients You’ll Need

2 cups heavy whipping cream: This is the base of our ice cream, creating that luxurious, creamy texture. For lighter options, you could use coconut cream.
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk: Essential for sweetness and to help the ice cream set smoothly. Make sure to use the canned version.
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder: This adds intense chocolate flavor. Use high-quality cocoa for deeper taste.
1 cup fudge sauce: Store-bought or homemade, this adds richness. You can also sub with chocolate syrup if you prefer.

How to Make No Churn Chocolate Fudge Brownie Ice Cream

Prepare the Whipped Cream: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat 2 cups of heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. This takes about 3 to 5 minutes.
Mix the Condensed Milk and Cocoa: In another bowl, whisk together 14 ounces of sweetened condensed milk and 3/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder until well combined and smooth.
Combine the Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture. Do this gradually to maintain the airy texture of the whipped cream.
Add the Fudge Sauce: Pour in 1 cup of fudge sauce and fold it in gently. The aim here is to create beautiful swirls, so don’t overmix.
Stir in Brownie Bites: Add 2 cups of chopped brownie bites, folding them in to ensure they’re evenly distributed without breaking them into tiny pieces.
Freeze the Mixture: Transfer the ice cream mixture into an airtight container. Smooth the top with a spatula and cover it tightly. Place it in the freezer for at least 6 hours, or until completely firm.
Scoop and Enjoy: When ready to serve, remove the ice cream from the freezer and let it sit for about 5 minutes to soften slightly before scooping.

Storing & Reheating

Store any leftover No Churn Chocolate Fudge Brownie Ice Cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. For shorter storage, it’s perfect at room temperature for about 30 minutes in the summer heat. Remember, the texture might change slightly after freezing, so if you find it too hard, just let it sit out for a few minutes to soften before scooping.
