💰 WHY THIS RECIPE IS BUDGET-FRIENDLY

  • No fancy equipment needed – You don’t need an ice cream maker or special tools, just a bowl and whisk (or mixer).
  • Simple, low-cost ingredients – Cream, condensed milk, chocolate, and marshmallows are all affordable and easy to find, and homemade ice cream tastes so much better.

👩🏼‍🍳 STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Whip the cream:
Pour the cold heavy cream into a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form — the cream should hold its shape when you lift the beaters.

Add the condensed milk:
Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the mixture — keep it light and fluffy!

Mix in the chocolate and marshmallows:
Fold in the chocolate chunks and mini marshmallows until evenly combined.

Freeze it:
Pour the mixture into a 9×5-inch loaf pan. For easy removal, it's a good idea to line it with plastic wrap or baking paper. Smooth the top and press a piece of plastic wrap directly against the surface to prevent ice crystals.

Chill time:
Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm. Scoop, serve, and enjoy your marshmallow-chocolate ice cream!

Description

Chocolate Marshmallow Ice Cream (no churn!) requires no fancy equipment and only 5 ingredients. It's the creamiest vanilla ice cream with chocolate chunks and soft marshmallows. This no-churn ice cream recipe takes only 10 minutes to prepare!


Ingredients

Scale

14-oz can of sweetened condensed milk

2 cups (500 ml) heavy cream (make sure it's cold!)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup of chocolate cut into chunks (or chocolate chips)

½ cup mini marshmallows (or regular marshmallows cut in half)


Instructions

Whip the cream:
Pour the cold heavy cream into a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form — the cream should hold its shape when you lift the beaters.

Add the condensed milk:
Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the mixture — keep it light and fluffy!

Mix in the chocolate and marshmallows:
Fold in the chocolate chunks and mini marshmallows until evenly combined.

Freeze it:
Pour the mixture into a 9×5-inch loaf pan lined with plastic wrap or baking paper. Smooth the top and press a piece of plastic wrap directly against the surface to prevent ice crystals.

Chill time:
Freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Scoop, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

Condensed Milk: When folding the condensed milk and vanilla mixture into the whipped cream, do it gently. This maintains the fluffiness of the whipped cream and prevents the mixture from becoming too dense.

Let It Soften: If the ice cream is too hard after freezing, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping. This allows it to soften slightly for a creamier texture.

⭐️Note:⭐️ The weight of chocolate pieces can cause them to settle at the bottom during the freezing process. But I think some may enjoy the anticipation of reaching the treasure trove of chocolate pieces at the bottom of the container.

Using a metal bread/loaf tin helps the ice cream to set quicker.
