Recipe: No Machine Chocolate Ice Cream

This amazing recipe comes from Gluten Free on a Shoestring. If you haven't heard of the blog, I highly recommend checking it out. There are a ton of gluten free recipes on there, and they are great!

And this one... wow. It is one of the best chocolate ice creams I have ever had.

Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream

• 2 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream 
• 1 Can Sweetened Condensed Milk, minus 1/4 Cup 
• Chocolate Syrup (recipe below) 
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract 

Chocolate Syrup

• 3/4 cup Sugar 
• 6 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder 
• 1/8 teaspoon Salt 
• 1/4 Cup Water 
• 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract 

Syrup Directions

1. In a medium size, heavy bottomed saucepan, place the sugar, cocoa powder, salt, water and vanilla extract, whisking until combined. 
2. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar crystals are dissolved and it has just started to thicken. 
3. Remove from heat and pour into a heatproof bowl, setting aside until cooled. 

Ice Cream Directions

1. Beat whipping cream in the bowl of a stand mixer until soft peaks form. 
2. Add sweetened condensed milk, vanilla and salt to the syrup and mix together. 
3. With the beaters running, slowly pour in the syrup mixture, beating until fully incorporated. 
4. Fold in mixing if you are using any. 
5. Freeze (minimum of four hours), serve and enjoy!

I have tried the original recipe with brownie dough, and also tried these add-ins; cookie dough, homemade marshmallow pieces, and chocolate sandwich cookies. I'm excited to try many more in the future! This ice cream is, like, seriously the best chocolate ice cream ever.
