No Churn Chocolate Chip Chocolate Ice Cream

For the little girl... who has requested, repeatedly for several days now, chocolate ice cream with chocolate chips in it.

This recipe was given to me by an e-friend, who gave me permission to share...

1/2 cup chocolate milk
1/2 cup condensed milk
1/3 cup Dutch style cocoa
300 ml heavy 40% cream
3 to 5 tablespoons mini chocolate chips

Stir together the chocolate milk, condensed milk and cocoa until thoroughly mixed.  Chill for a couple of hours.

Whip the cream until stiff peaks.  Fold in the chocolate-milk mixture.

Pour into prepared container (about 1 liter capacity).  Freeze for 1 to 2 hours, until sides begin to freeze but center is still a bit liquid-y.  Stir the mixture then fold in chocolate chips.  Freeze until solid.

The little girl obviously loved her ice cream.  It was delicious, although I found it a tad a bit on the sweet side.  It's a little sweeter, particularly the end-note, than my go-to homemade chocolate ice cream, but it is darker and has a more complex chocolate-y taste, maybe due to chocolate milk component.

In any case, the little girl pronounced me her (kitchen) hero once again!
