Hey friends,

It’s time for my annual MINI EGG dessert!! Like most people, I cannot get enough of those little pastel treats, and usually buy a jumbo bag for myself as soon as they go on sale. Yes, it’s a dangerous thing to have in my house. But YES, it’s worth it!

p.s. you can find more mini egg recipes at the end of this post!

Anyway, today we’re keeping things pretty simple, and creating a magical no churn ice cream. All you need is some heavy cream, cocoa powder, sweetened condensed milk, and mini eggs! Don’t have mini eggs? Feel free to swap in any mix-in your heart desires. Nuts, chocolate chips, oreo chunks, etc. There is truly no wrong answer here!

This recipe is so quick to whip up, but the ice cream will need a couple hours in the freezer to firm up before you can serve it!

no churn chocolate mini egg ice cream

recipe: Kelsey Siemens

ingredients

2 cups (460 mL) heavy cream (or whipping cream)

1 can (300 mL) sweetened condensed milk

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 cup (20 g) cocoa powder

1/8 tsp salt

to make

Start with a medium sized bowl, the taller the sides the better, and whip the cream on high until soft peaks form. (A narrow bowl with tall sides works best for whipping the cream evenly, and it helps contain the splatter!)

Open the can of sweetened condensed milk, and add the vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and salt to it. Whisk until smooth. Add half of this mixture to the whipped cream, and gently fold together. Add in the remaining sweetened condensed milk mixture to the whipped cream mixture, as well as the mini eggs (or other add-ins), and fold until just barely incorporated.

Gently transfer the mixture into an airtight container, and freeze for 2-3 hours before serving!

This ice cream stores well and remains soft and scoopable.

tips:

we don’t want to be too aggressive when folding the mixture together, as it can collapse the whipped cream.
why don’t we whip the cream into stiff peaks? overwhipping the cream can cause a weird mouth taste once the mixture is frozen!
any mix-ins will work! be creative, and add in whatever you’d like.

happy mini egg eating!
