- 1 (14 oz) can Sweetened Condensed Milk: This acts as a key ingredient for creaminess and sweetness. Look for good quality brands. You can substitute with evaporated milk plus sugar if necessary.
- 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder: Unsweetened cocoa powder gives a deep chocolate flavor. Use Dutch-processed for a richer taste or regular unprocessed for a lighter option.
- 2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream: This is crucial for creating that fluffy, airy texture without churning. Make sure it’s chilled for best results.
- 1 (12 oz) jar Hot Fudge Sauce, Softened: The star of the show that adds a delightful fudgy ribbon throughout your ice cream. You can use homemade or store-bought varieties.

How to Make No Churn Chocolate Fudge Brownie Ice Cream
- Whisk Together: In a large bowl, combine 1 (14 oz) can of sweetened condensed milk and 1/2 cup of cocoa powder. Mix until smooth and fully combined. This chocolate base is the foundation of your ice cream.
- Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip 2 cups of heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Be sure not to overwhip, or it will turn grainy. This step gives your ice cream its airy texture.
- Combine: Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in three parts, ensuring not to deflate the cream. It’s essential to keep that light, fluffy texture.
- Add Fudge and Brownies: Once the mixture is well-combined, fold in 1 (12 oz) jar of softened hot fudge sauce. Gently incorporate cubed brownies, taking care not to break them too much.
- Freeze: Pour the mixture into an airtight container and spread it out evenly. Cover it tightly and place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight for the best texture.
- Serve: Scoop out this delicious treat and drizzle a bit of extra hot fudge on top for a show-stopping presentation. Enjoy every fudgy, creamy bite!
Storing & Reheating
To keep your ice cream fresh, store it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Make sure you press a piece of plastic wrap against the surface before sealing for additional protection against freezer burn. When you’re ready to enjoy, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly, allowing for easy scoops. Keep in mind that the texture may change a bit over time, but a quick stir can refresh its creamy consistency.
Chef’s Helpful Tips
- Ensure your heavy cream is really cold; it whips better!
- Be gentle when folding the ingredients together to retain the light and airy texture.
- Use a spatula for folding in the brownies to keep them intact and hearty.
- For richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract when mixing the condensed milk and cocoa powder.
