Creamy Vanilla and Chocolate Swirl Ice Cream-1-14What’s better than a cold, creamy treat to beat the summer heat? If you love ice cream but don't want to deal with the hassle of making a custard or buying an ice cream maker, then this Easy No Churn Chocolate Swirl Ice Cream is your new best friend. It’s the quickest, simplest ice cream recipe you’ll ever try, and best of all—it tastes absolutely amazing with a creamy, rich texture that will satisfy all your sweet cravings.

Ingredients

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1-2 Tablespoons powdered sugar, optional

2 ½ cups heavy cream, chilled

¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Creamy Vanilla and Chocolate Swirl Ice Cream-1-24How To Make No-Churn Chocolate Swirl Ice Cream

In a large bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, mix together the softened cream cheese, half of the sweetened condensed milk and the vanilla until the mixture is smooth. Of course, you can use a hand mixer for this recipe. Creamy Vanilla and Chocolate Swirl Ice Cream-1-23Pour in 1 cup of the chilled heavy cream and mix to combine, starting on very low speed and then gradually increasing to high, until the mixture has thickened. Creamy Vanilla and Chocolate Swirl Ice Cream-1-22Set this mixture aside into a medium bowl. In the same large bowl of the standing mixer, mix the remaining half of the sweetened condensed milk and the cocoa powder until the mixture is smooth. Creamy Vanilla and Chocolate Swirl Ice Cream-1-21Pour in the remaining 1 ½ cups chilled heavy cream and whisk until thick and fluffy, also starting on low speed and gradually increasing to high. Be careful not to over mix.

Creamy Vanilla and Chocolate Swirl Ice Cream-1-20Cut off a small corner of a large ziplock bag or a large piping bag and fit it with a large or jumbo piping tip. Put this bag into a large measuring cup or a pitcher, etc. Fold the sides over the brim of the cup. Place the cream cheese mixture on one side of the bag and the chocolate mixture on the other side of the bag. Creamy Vanilla and Chocolate Swirl Ice Cream-1-19

Creamy Vanilla and Chocolate Swirl Ice Cream-1-18Take the bag carefully out of the measuring cup and pipe out the ice cream into small cups. Creamy Vanilla and Chocolate Swirl Ice Cream-1-17I used 9 oz plastic cups that I bought at my grocery store. You can use anything you like. Instead of piping it out in a swirl, you can pipe each of the ice creams separately into layers, or even use a spoon to scoop it out into portions.

Very often I just make the chocolate portion of the ice cream and enjoy it by itself.

Freeze the ice cream until it's as firm as you like it. I like it best when it's still a little bit soft, so I only chill it for about 30 minutes. If you like it completely firm, you will have to freeze it for a few hours. If you freeze it for hours, you might want to set it out to soften a bit at room temperature before eating it.

Garnish with chocolate shavings, chopped nuts, fresh fruit, caramel or chocolate syrup. Or keep it simple and eat it just the way it is. It's delicious, creamy and beautiful.Creamy Vanilla and Chocolate Swirl Ice Cream-1-15

    Wonderful recipe. I just made it. I didnt add cream cheese, added more cocoa powder and less heavy cream. Also melted dark chocolated with hazelnuts, mixed it all together and whala,it tastes great. Your recipe calls for 2 1/2cup heavy cream. To me, all i tasted was a cream, so i put more condensed milk to even out the taste!! Thanks for the recipe!

    Thanks for the recipe.. We did like the chocolate more, I feel like with the cream cheese in the vanilla, it makes the ice cream taste like cake frosting - which I wasn't crazy about. I think I would rather avoid the cream cheese and just add more heavy cream... 🙂

    Can you taste the cream cheese in this recipe? It looks really good, but I'm not a huge fan of "cheesey" sweets.

      I don't think so, Jennifer, but I am a fan of "cheesey" sweets, so I guess I'm not the best judge.
      I don't think you can taste much of the cream cheese at all, especially the chocolate part.

    Your description about the Florida weather is SPOT-ON! I went there for 4 years of college and I know exactly what you're talking about. Thanks for the recipe- this will be stashed in my go-to recipe box, especially for the niece and nephew 🙂
