Ingredients
Unsweetened cocoa powder. Accomplish the base chocolate flavor for this recipe with the use of cocoa powder. Without this ingredient, your supposedly chocolate ice cream flavor would feel lacking.
Heavy Cream. Heavy cream will assist this dish to have its rich flavor and thick consistency. You have to make sure that this ingredient is present in your recipe, or else the ice cream will just be a lumpy and gooey mass.
Sweetened Condensed Milk. Aside from adding sweetness, condensed milk will help soften the texture of the ice cream a bit for easy scooping.
Dark Chocolate Chips. For a more chocolatey taste, allow yourself some dark chocolate chips to accompany your cocoa powder in finishing up the chocolate taste of the recipe. You can replace them with milk chocolate chips.
Caramel Sauce. With caramel sauce in the recipe, your ice cream will also taste mild and buttery and yet still very sweet.
Marshmallow Fluff. For the perfect soft and pillowy texture, marshmallow fluff should not go missing in this recipe.
How To Make Chocolate Marshmallow Ice Cream?
One: In a large mixing bowl, mix together cocoa powder and heavy cream until soft peaks form (don't over whip the cream, or it will become too stiff).
Two: Fold in the condensed milk and melted chocolate and stir until combined.
Three: Stir in the chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.
Four: Scoop 1-2 cups of the mixture into a loaf pan or freezer-proof container, top it with half caramel sauce. Swirl through with the tip of a toothpick until evenly distributed.
Five: Spread half of the marshmallow fluff and swirl again.
Six: Now, add another cup of the chocolate mix on the top, and smooth over with a spatula. Add the remaining caramel sauce and marshmallow fluff, and swirl through again. Then spread the remaining chocolate mixture on top. Scatter some chocolate chips (optional).
Seven: Cover the ice cream and freeze for 4-5 hours or overnight.
Top Tips!
