Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 4 oz dark chocolate melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans toasted, if desired
  • 1/2 cup fudge sauce store-bought or homemade

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, melted dark chocolate, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until everything is smooth and well-blended.
  • Once your mixture is ready, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. This step is essential for achieving that creamy texture!
  • After the chilling time, pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn it for about 20-25 minutes until you reach a soft-serve consistency.
  • In the last 5 minutes of churning, add in the chopped nuts, allowing them to mix thoroughly for that delightful crunch in every bite.
  • Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container, swirl in the fudge sauce, or simply drizzle it right on top before freezing it for at least 4 hours until firm.
  • When you're ready to enjoy, scoop the ice cream into bowls, drizzle with extra fudge sauce if desired, and indulge in this creamy, nutty chocolate fantasy!

  • Top Tips for Perfecting Choco-Nut Fudge Fantasy Ice Cream
  • To ensure your Choco-Nut Fudge Fantasy Ice Cream turns out perfectly every time, here are some handy tips:
  • Use high-quality chocolate to make a noticeable difference in flavor. The better the chocolate, the richer your ice cream will be!
  • If you prefer more texture, consider adding more nuts or experimenting with different nuts like almonds or hazelnuts.
  • Always chill your mixture well before pouring it into the ice cream maker; it helps to achieve that creamy consistency.
  • Avoid over-churning the ice cream, as this can lead to a less creamy texture.
  • Storing and Reheating Tips

It will stay fresh for about 1-2 weeks if kept at a consistent temperature. To enjoy it again, simply take it out of the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften before scooping it into bowls. If you want to save it for later, consider portioning it out in smaller containers for easy enjoyment whenever the craving strikes!
