Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream, very cold
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Toppings
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter, warmed slightly for drizzling
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts
Instructions
- Chill equipment: Place a large mixing bowl and the whisk attachment of your electric mixer in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to prepare them for whipping the cream.
- Whip cream: Pour the very cold heavy cream into the chilled bowl. Beat on medium-high speed until medium-stiff peaks form. The cream should hold shape but remain light and airy; avoid overbeating to prevent graininess.
- Combine chocolate mixture: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth without lumps.
- Fold mixture: Gently fold the chocolate mixture into the whipped cream in three additions using a rubber spatula. Carefully scoop from the bottom and fold over to maintain an airy texture without deflating the whipped cream.
- Freeze: Pour the combined mixture into a freezer-safe container. Cover tightly and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm but creamy.
- Serve: Scoop into bowls, drizzle with warmed peanut butter, and sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and chopped roasted peanuts. Enjoy immediately for best texture.
Notes
- Ensure the heavy cream is very cold for optimal whipping.
- Do not overbeat the cream to avoid graininess.
- Gently folding the chocolate mixture preserves the creamy texture.
- Warming the peanut butter for drizzling makes it easier to pour and enhances flavor.
- Freeze for a minimum of 6 hours, but overnight yields best texture.
