Ingredients You’ll Need

1 (14 oz) can Sweetened Condensed Milk: This creamy base adds sweetness and helps achieve that smooth texture. You can use low-fat sweetened condensed milk as a substitute if you prefer a lighter option.
1/2 cup Cocoa Powder: Look for high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder for the best flavor. Dutch-process cocoa can be used for a milder taste, while natural cocoa powder has a more pronounced chocolate flavor.
2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream: Heavy whipping cream is crucial for achieving that rich, whipped texture. If you need a lighter version, you can use a lighter cream, but it may not whip as well.
1 (12 oz) jar Hot Fudge Sauce, Softened: Store-bought hot fudge makes it easy and delicious. If you’re feeling ambitious, you can make your own fudge sauce to control the sweetness!
Store Bought Bakery Brownies, Cubed: Fresh brownies provide a delightful chewy texture. Feel free to use any favorite brownie recipe or store-bought options—just make sure they are cut into bite-sized cubes.

How to Make No Churn Chocolate Fudge Brownie Ice Cream

Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, pour in 2 cups of heavy whipping cream. Using an electric mixer, whip it on high speed until soft peaks form. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes. You want it to be airy and fluffy, but avoid overbeating, which can lead to graininess.
Combine the Base: In another bowl, whisk together the 1 (14 oz) can of sweetened condensed milk and 1/2 cup of cocoa powder until smooth and no lumps remain. Make sure it’s well blended for a consistent chocolate flavor.
Fold Together: Carefully fold the cocoa mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula. Make gentle folding motions to preserve the airiness of the whipped cream. You want a uniform mixture without deflating it too much.
Add Fudge Sauce: Drizzle in the softened hot fudge sauce and gently swirl it through the mixture—don’t overmix! This will create beautiful streaks of fudge throughout your ice cream.
Incorporate Brownies: Gently fold in the cubed brownie pieces until evenly distributed. You want them to be well coated in the chocolate mixture.
Transfer to Container: Pour the rich mixture into a freezable container, smoothing the top with a spatula. If there are any leftover brownie chunks, sprinkle them on top for added appeal.
Freeze: Cover the container tightly and freeze the mixture for at least 6 hours, or until solid. It’s best to let it freeze overnight for optimal firmness.
Serve & Enjoy: Once frozen, scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones. Consider drizzling extra hot fudge on top for an even sweeter experience.

Storing & Reheating

Store any leftover no churn chocolate fudge brownie ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. It will stay fresh for up to 3 months. If left at room temperature, it can soften quickly, losing its perfect texture. To soften for serving, allow it to sit in the fridge for about 10 minutes before scooping, as this will help regain its creamy consistency without melting too much.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Don’t Overwhip: When whipping the cream, stop when soft peaks form. Overwhipping can turn it gritty and make the final ice cream too dense.
Layer the Fudge: When adding in hot fudge, reserve a little to drizzle on top right before serving for that gourmet touch.
Experiment with Flavors: Swap out the cocoa powder for chocolate syrup or mix in different candies or pretzels for a fun twist!
Serve at the Right Temperature: For easier scooping, remove the ice cream from the freezer about 5-10 minutes before you want to serve it.

No Churn Chocolate Fudge Brownie Ice Cream is not just a treat; it’s an experience. Each bite is filled with luscious chocolate flavor, and the chewy brownie pieces create a satisfying crunch. It’s a delightful blend that your family and friends will love, and it will just keep you coming back for more!

Recipe FAQs

Can I use different types of brownies?

Absolutely! Whether you prefer fudgy or cakey brownies, the important thing is to ensure they are cut into cubes. Feel free to even try blondies for a unique twist!

How can I make it dairy-free?

For a dairy-free version of no churn chocolate fudge brownie ice cream, use coconut cream instead of heavy whipping cream and substitute the sweetened condensed milk for a dairy-free option, available at many grocery stores. Vegan brownies will complement this well.

Making it ahead: How long can I store it?

You can prepare this dessert well in advance. It keeps in the freezer for up to 3 months without compromising its texture or taste. Just make sure it’s stored in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn.

What if it’s too hard to scoop out?

If you find the ice cream is too hard, simply let it sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes before you attempt to scoop. If it’s been frozen longer, you might need a slightly longer resting time. This way, it will soften just enough to become that perfect creamy delight we all love!
