Creamy Chocolate Ice Cream Bars (Homemade) Recipe

Print Recipe

Indulge in these rich and velvety homemade chocolate ice cream bars. Made with heavy cream, cocoa powder, and chocolate chips, they offer a perfect balance of creamy texture and intense chocolate flavor with an optional nutty crunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and salt until smooth and the sugar is fully dissolved (about 2-3 minutes).
  2. Stir in the vanilla extract and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Add chopped nuts if desired for extra texture.
  3. Pour the mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish or silicone mold, spreading evenly with a spatula.
  4. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and freeze for 4-6 hours, or ideally overnight, until firm.
  5. Remove from the freezer and let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly.
  6. Use a sharp knife to cut the mixture into bars. Serve immediately or wrap individually in parchment paper for storage.

Notes

  • Ensure there are no lumps in the cocoa powder before freezing for the smoothest texture.
  • If using a metal baking dish, lining it with parchment paper can make removing the bars easier.
  • Store in an airtight container in the freezer to prevent ice crystals from forming.
