Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream

Recently I had purchased some heavy whipping cream and bought too much. With having extra sitting around I had wondered what to do with the remainder of it and set out on a google search. I should say I am not big on cooking as I usually try to make quick and easy meals and have to admit that I probably only used heavy whipping cream maybe once or twice in my life. After scrolling through the results I found I could use it in just about anything. However, my kids were looking over my shoulder and saw ice cream. We checked out a few of the recipe but settled on a chocolate one.



The recipe:

1 pint heavy whipping cream
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa

Mix the sweetened condensed milks, vanilla, and cocoa together in a medium sized bowl. In a large bowl beat the heavy whipping cream until you get stiff peaks (DO NOT OVER BEAT). Then fold in the chocolate mixture. Transfer to a freezer container and freeze for at least 6 hours.

This was a big hit in my house and it came out pretty good. The consistency was a cross between a mousse and soft serve ice cream.
