How To Make Chocolate Brownie Ice Cream
A few simple ingredients and a few easy steps are all it takes to make this delicious ice cream.


The first step is to whip the heavy cream and cocoa powder. In a large mixing bowl use an electric mixer to whip together the heavy cream and cocoa powder until the mixture forms stiff peaks.


Next using the electric mixer on low, slowly mix in the sweetened condensed milk and brownie pieces until combined.
Then transfer the ice cream mixture to a metal loaf pan and allow it to chill in the freezer until set.
Scoop, serve, and enjoy!

How To Store
If you have any of this homemade brownie ice cream left over, I recommend storing it in an airtight container.
Alternatively, you can keep the ice cream in the loaf pan you froze it in, just be sure to cover it with two layers of plastic wrap before storing it.
This no-churn ice cream should stay fresh in the freezer for a month. Be sure to let your chocolate fudge brownie ice cream thaw for a few minutes on the counter before scooping and enjoying!
Recipe Tips
- I love the richness and warmth that a batch of homemade brownies adds to this dessert. If you’re in a pinch for time, brownies or brownie bites from the bakery section of your local grocery store or bakery are a great option.
- You can add some extra texture and chocolate flavor to your ice cream by mixing in some hot fudge or miniature chocolate chips before freezing.
- Normally, I recommend using a rubber spatula to fold the sweetened condensed milk and mix-ins into no-churn ice cream. However, I find that the large pieces of brownie are better distributed throughout your ice cream base if you use a hand mixer on low speed.
