About this easy Homemade Chocolate Ice cream recipe

By making this ice cream at home you control all the ingredients that go in. We are not using any stabilizing agents, additives or preservatives that are common across most shop-bought ice creams. Whole milk and the whipped fresh cream form the body of this ice cream. Condensed milk provides the sweetness. Cocoa powder and vanilla extract add a genuine “ice creaminess” to this homemade chocolate ice cream.

Use good quality unsweetened cocoa powder while making chocolate ice cream at home. That is the mission-critical ingredient that you don’t want to compromise on! If you like your ice cream sweeter, add more condensed milk before folding in the cream.

Crushed cashew nuts are not mandatory, but I recommend adding them for a nice, crunchy texture. Alternatively, you could use pistachios or almonds. However, my favourite is toasted peanuts.
