No-Churn Belgium Chocolate Ice Cream (3 ingredients)
This rich, creamy and decadent Belgium chocolate ice cream is a no-churn chocolate ice cream using only four ingredients and takes only five minutes to prepare. Loaded with chocolate this is the perfect summer dessert. A Chocolate lovers favorite chocolate ice cream.
The last three days we’ve had over 40 C temperatures. In fact, yesterday it was 44 C. Is that hot? You bet! The kids have an excuse to eat ice creams, smoothies, and cold drinks. I try to stay out of the kitchen making light and refreshing meals as possible.
I do what I do best – make as much homemade. The kids will usually have fruit smoothies in the fridge blueberry, banana, mango, a nice cold homemade chocolate drink in the fridge means some nutrition goes in as well. And of course, there are lots of ice creams.
About this Belgium Chocolate Ice Cream
What is your favorite Belgium chocolate? Mine has got to be Godiva! Don’t get me wrong, I do like the others but I love Godiva. Recently, we started seeing Godiva chocolate bars in our supermarkets. No, we didn’t have those before so of course, since then we switched to eating Godiva chocolates.
I always make my no churn chocolate ice cream at home but this time I had to use Godiva and oh my, was it good. The next time I tweaked it to add a bit of cocoa to enhance the chocolate color and that was even better.
I knew I had to share the recipe with you. The joy of using just 4 ingredients and have this amazing outcome. Absolute heaven. If you love chocolate ice cream then you must make this one at least once. Yes, treat yourself to some good quality Belgium chocolate ice cream.
What does no-churn mean?
I think no-churn is not a very common term in all parts of the word. No-churn simply means that you don’t need an ice cream maker. It’s referring to the paddle in an ice cream maker that turns (churn) the ice cream mixture from a liquid state to a creamy ice cream consistency.
Let’s talk ingredients and substitutes (Save/Pin)
- Chocolate – I am using Godiva Belgium chocolate but there are other Belgium chocolate brands that work just as well. Try Bruyerre, Lindt and a few others
- Whipping cream – the higher the fat, the creamier your ice cream. I use 38% fat content in my whipping cream. With this recipe, I’m not calculating calories, so it’s got to be full-fat cream. You can, of course, use low-fat cream but it will give you ice crystals which means your ice cream will be a bit icy. Nothing wrong with that just as long as you know what to expect.
- Condensed milk – Condensed milk is sweetened which is why we do not add any additional sugar. I always use my homemade condensed milk made in just 5 mins recipe. The best thing about that recipe is that you can reduce the sugar. I highly recommend you taste the ice cream before you freeze it to ensure it’s sweet. If necessary add a tablespoon or two of powdered sugar.
- Vanilla – I do not add more vanilla because condensed milk usually has vanilla said into it. But feel free to add some more vanilla extract.
Useful Tips and Tools
- You can of course whip cream with a whisk. But as you can see for the video I use my hand mixer otherwise I use my stand mixer – just makes it a lot quicker
- Use a Mixing bowl that will be large enough to hold all ingredients.
- A Spatula is a great tool when you need to fold ingredients
- I use a Fork to break the berries – this add color and flavor to the base.
- As I explained in my post on Tips, you want to use a good Ice cream storage container I love these insulated ice cream tubs and have been using these with great results

Absolutely, Belgium chocolate has a unique distinct chocolate flavor with 40% cocoa compared to others. But yes, you can use any other chocolate you like.

Do you mind sending some of that 44C weather my way?? It’s still a little chilly here even though they ALWAYS say expect it to get warmer. I’d eat this chocolate ice cream in the middle of the winter though. So good!!
