Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or a few spoonfuls of chocolate syrup to the mixture. If you prefer a less sweet version, you can substitute half of the Eagle Brand milk with unsweetened almond milk. Make sure to mix thoroughly to avoid any lumps, and you can also incorporate crushed cookies or chocolate chips for added texture.

It pairs beautifully with Fudge Oatmeal Cookies for a delicious dessert combo. You can also use it as a base for an ice cream sundae or float, adding a splash of soda for a fun twist.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover chocolate ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. To prevent ice crystals from forming, press a piece of plastic wrap against the surface of the ice cream before sealing the container. When ready to enjoy, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften before scooping.
