Ingredients
Scale
2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, cold
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. This takes about 3 to 5 minutes.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the cold sweetened condensed milk, sifted cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt until completely smooth.
Gently fold about one-third of the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture to lighten it.
Carefully fold the remaining whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until just combined. Do not overmix; streaks are acceptable.
Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container, such as a loaf pan or an airtight container. Cover the surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals.
Freeze for at least 6 hours, or until firm. For the best texture, allow it to soften slightly at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before scooping and serving your summer treat.
Notes
Sifting the cocoa powder prevents lumps in your final product.
For an extra layer of flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of instant espresso powder to the condensed milk mixture.
If you want a thicker, fudgier texture, reduce the heavy cream slightly to 1 and 3/4 cups.
