Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix sugar, vanilla, syrup, milk, and whipping cream together in a bowl.

- Freeze until firm and ready to serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate syrup instead of regular syrup. You can also substitute whole milk with almond milk for a lighter option. If you prefer a smoother texture, whip the cream until soft peaks form before mixing. Make sure all your ingredients are well chilled before combining to help the ice cream freeze faster. This no-cook method is perfect for hot summer days when you crave a quick dessert.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the chocolate ice cream in bowls or cones, garnished with chocolate shavings or a drizzle of chocolate syrup. It pairs beautifully with fresh berries or a slice of cake, making it an excellent dessert after a meal. For a fun twist, try serving it alongside Indonesian Rotti Kukus (Steamed Cake) for a delightful treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover chocolate ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. It’s best enjoyed within two weeks for optimal freshness. To soften before serving, let it sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes. If it becomes too hard, running a scoop under warm water will help you serve it more easily.
