Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream, very cold
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Toppings
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter, warmed slightly for drizzling
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts
Instructions
- Chill equipment: Chill a large mixing bowl and the whisk attachment of your electric mixer in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to ensure the cream whips up better.
- Whip the cream: Pour the very cold heavy cream into the chilled bowl. Beat on medium-high speed until medium-stiff peaks form. The cream should hold its shape but remain light and airy; avoid overbeating to prevent graininess.
- Prepare chocolate mixture: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and fully combined with no cocoa lumps.
- Fold mixtures: Gently fold the chocolate mixture into the whipped cream in three additions, using a rubber spatula to scoop from the bottom and fold over carefully. This preserves the light, airy, and creamy texture.
- Freeze: Transfer the combined mixture into a freezer-safe container, such as a loaf pan or airtight plastic container. Cover tightly with a lid or plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight until firm but scoopable.
- Serve: Scoop the dessert into bowls. Drizzle warmed peanut butter over each serving and sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and chopped roasted peanuts. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Warming the peanut butter slightly makes it easier to drizzle.
- Be careful not to overbeat the cream to maintain a smooth texture.
- Use a rubber spatula to gently fold ingredients so the mixture stays airy.
- Freezing overnight improves firmness and flavor melding.
- Store leftovers covered in the freezer and let sit a few minutes at room temperature before scooping.
