Craving a sweet treat? You won’t believe how easy it is to make this 3 ingredient chocolate chip ice cream with NO special ice cream maker required!
I, like most people, like easy recipes, especially in the summer when I want something delicious but still quick. I don’t want to turn that oven on & I don’t want to spend more than a few minutes on preparation. I’m always looking for recipes with just a few steps & even fewer ingredients too keep on hand. Which is why I always seem to come back to this simple & easy homemade chocolate chip ice cream. With just 3 ingredients you can’t go wrong.
I can tell you that this homemade ice cream is so simple to make! No ice cream maker needed, no churning required & it’s basically foolproof, you MUST give it a try! In fact, it’s so easy I often let my kids whip it up on their own so they can get creative with whatever mix-ins they are wanting at the time. It’s rich, creamy, cool & delicious, everything you want on a hot summer day.
Step 1: Add whipping cream to your mixer bowl with the whip attachment.
Step 2: Add sweetened condensed milk.
Step 3:Whip on the highest setting you can set your mixer at without it spattering outside your bowl for 4-6 minutes or until lighter & creamy looking. It won’t whip to peaks but just look thick & smooth.
Step 4: Transfer to freezer safe container.
Step 5: Slowly sprinkle in your chocolate chips & run a knife through the dish to distribute some of them through the ice cream without allowing them all to sink to the bottom.
Step 6: Cover & freeze for at least 8-10 hours, or overnight. I haven’t found a store bought ice cream with a flavor like this one. It’s heavenly & amazing what 3 simple ingredients can become!
Cover & freeze for at least 8-10 hours, or overnight.
You can substitute some coarsely grated chocolate for the mini chocolate chips if desired. The key is to keep the chocolate small though so that it melts in your mouth with the ice cream. You want to avoid it becoming something you have to chew. Larger pieces of chocolate (like a regular size chocolate chip) tend to get quite hard & uncomfortable when frozen.

Humm. I just made this & am having difficulty comparing "Nutritional Values" to store bought ice-cream. :P The icecream "serving amount" is 1/2 cup but the 2 milk ingredients are based on 3 Tbl total. Ugh. I know 8 Tbls are in 1/2 cup but still cannot calculate this. I guess I need to calculate "per Tbl" and then multiply out to 1/2 cup -or probably more realistically 2 cups for a "Serving" LOL!
I do not have a stand mixer ... do you think a hand mixer will work?
Yes Michelle, a hand mixer will work just fine.
Thank you so much Ruth & the team for inviting me over today! It's an absolute pleasure!
