3-Ingredient Chocolate Ice Cream

Ingredients
Ice Cream
- 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 8 oz tub whipped topping, thawed
- 1/2 gallon chocolate milk
Instructions
- Combine Condensed Milk and Whipped Topping: In a large bowl, stir the sweetened condensed milk and whipped topping together until completely smooth and unified with no streaks remaining, about 1 minute.
- Add the Chocolate Milk: Pour in the chocolate milk slowly while stirring continuously until the entire mixture is glossy, deep brown, and fully combined from bottom to top.
- Transfer to Freezer Container: Pour the mixture into a deep freezer-safe container. Press a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent ice crystals forming, then cover and place in the freezer.
- Stir Every Hour Until Set: Every 45 minutes to 1 hour, remove from the freezer and stir the mixture thoroughly, scraping the frozen edges and bottom back into the centre. Repeat until the ice cream is thick, creamy, and scoopable — approximately 4 to 6 hours or overnight.
Notes
Use a full-fat, good-quality chocolate milk for the richest flavour and creamiest texture. Mix condensed milk and whipped topping fully before adding chocolate milk. Stir every 45–60 minutes during freezing to prevent large ice crystals and build a smooth, scoopable texture. Press plastic wrap directly against the surface before freezing to prevent icy patches on top. A deep loaf pan or container freezes more evenly than a shallow dish. Keeps in the freezer for up to 2 weeks — let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping if very firm.
