This no churn chocolate ice cream is rich, creamy, ultra chocolatey and takes only 4 ingredients to make. The perfect dessert to cool off with this summer!
As soon as I made my easy no churn vanilla ice cream with berries, I knew I needed a chocolate version. Queue this easy recipe! Absolutely no churning required and it takes only 10 minutes to prep. My family LOVED this delicious treat!
Now that summer is in full swing, my kids have been playing hard outside. They come inside hot and begging for popsicles or ice cream. I like to keep a big bag of popsicles in the outside freezer and a batch of ice cream inside. I don’t always share the homemade ice cream, but my kids are always so happy when I do. ;)
This recipe is made with a delicious milk base. We drink a lot of milk around our house and during the summer we love to make frozen desserts with chocolate milk. It’s so easy, that even my kids can make it. Win!

I can’t wait to try this. My husband and I are very fond of coffee ice cream and mocha (chocolate and coffee) ice cream. Did you ever try adding coffee to your chocolate ice cream? Thanks so much for sharing. We love your recipes!
Hi Suzanne! I haven’t tried adding coffee to my chocolate ice cream, but I bet it would work well to fold in some instant espresso as your “mix-in”.
DELICIOUS!
All I can say is YUM! My kids go crazy for this ice cream!
Perfect for summer! My kids loved it!
