Ingredients
For the ice cream
- 300 millilitre double cream heavy cream in the US
- 100 grams 70% dark chocolate or 85% for extra dark
- 1 can condensed milk circa 397g
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
How to make the ice cream
- Whip the double cream until stiff peaks form, then set aside.
- Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and microwave in short intervals, stirring in between, until it's fully melted and smooth.
- Pour the condensed milk into a medium-sized bowl.
- Add the melted chocolate and vanilla extract to the condensed milk, then beat until smooth and well combined.
- Gently fold half of the chocolate mixture into the whipped cream until just combined.
- Add the remaining chocolate mixture to the cream. Keep folding until all the ingredients are fully incorporated and smooth. For a quicker blend, you can briefly mix with an electric hand whisk.
- Transfer the ice cream mixture to your preferred container, such as a baking tray, loaf tin or plastic tub.
- Place the container in the freezer on a level surface and freeze for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.
- Once frozen, you can top the ice cream with flaked chocolate, chocolate curls or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra touch.

Notes
- Let the ice cream sit for 5-10 minutes before serving to make scooping easier.
- Or, run the ice cream scoop under hot water for a few seconds before scooping out the ice cream.
- If you would to like swirl chocolate ganache through the ice cream before freezing, follow these steps:
- Heat 100ml cream until just below boiling point.
- Pour the hot cream over 50 grams of chopped 70% dark chocolate (or higher) and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
- Stir the melted chocolate and cream together until you have a glossy, smooth texture.
- Drop spoonfuls on the unfrozen ice cream and swirl through with a knife. Freeze.
