For the ice cream base:
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream – This creates the rich creamy texture without needing an ice cream machine.
- 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk – Adds sweetness and helps with that smooth, scoopable consistency.
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder – Use a high-quality cocoa for a deeper more indulgent chocolate flavor.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – Balances the cocoa and enhances overall flavor.
- Pinch of salt – Just a touch to bring all the flavors to life.
For the brownie add-in:
- 1 cup fudgy brownie chunks – Homemade or store-bought just make sure they’re rich, moist, and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Whip the Cream
Begin by adding the heavy whipping cream to a large mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the cream on medium-high speed until it forms stiff peaks—about 3 to 4 minutes.
You'll know it's ready when you lift the beaters and the peaks stand tall without drooping.
Mix the Base
In a separate bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture is smooth, thick, and rich in chocolatey goodness.
Don’t skip the salt—it elevates the cocoa and rounds out the flavor.
Fold Gently
Take a scoop of the whipped cream and stir it into the chocolate mixture to lighten it up. Then, carefully fold in the remaining whipped cream using a spatula. The goal here is to keep the mixture airy and smooth, so take your time.
Folding keeps that dreamy, mousse-like texture intact.
Add the Brownie Chunks
Toss in the brownie pieces and gently fold them in. Make sure they’re evenly distributed so you get a bit of brownie in every bite.
Want a swirl of fudge too? Add a spoonful of melted chocolate or chocolate syrup here for extra decadence.
Freeze
Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Smooth out the top with a spatula and, if desired, sprinkle a few extra brownie bits on top.
Cover tightly and freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight for best results.
