Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 1.38 oz pkts hot chocolate mix
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows + extra for topping

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, whip the cold cream with the whisk attachment- just until fluffy and stiff peaks have formed. Don't overmix!
    2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • Using a spatula stir in the condensed milk and cocoa mix until evenly incorporated.
    1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk, 2 1.38 oz pkts hot chocolate mix, 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • Fold in the marshmallows, just until evenly incorporated.
  • Transfer the mixture into a metal loaf pan and spread out in an even layer. Bang on the counter 2 times to remove any trapped air bubbles and to even the mixture out.
  • Sprinkle extra mini marshmallows evenly out overtop, if desired.
  • Freeze for at least 8 hours, or up to overnight, until firm.
  • Before eating, let the ice cream sit on the counter for 5 minutes to soften before scooping.

Notes

  • Keep the cream in the fridge until just before you use it to keep it nice and cold.
  • I have found 2 packets is perfect but if you like it intensely flavored you could add an extra packet.
  • If you have leftovers, tightly covering the ice cream will help prevent freezer burn.
