How to Make Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream No Ice Cream Maker Required

  1. In a large bowl, beat 2 cups heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. This should take a few minutes.
  2. Gradually add 1 cup chocolate syrup, continuing to beat until well combined and soft peaks remain.
  3. Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving extra overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  4. Pour half of the chocolate cream mixture into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  5. Layer 1/2 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (or other cookies of your choice) evenly over the cream mixture.
  6. Add 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract (optional) over the cookie layer.
  7. Pour the remaining chocolate cream mixture over the cookie layer and smooth the top.
  8. Cover the loaf pan tightly with the plastic wrap, ensuring it's sealed to prevent ice crystals from forming.
  9. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until solid.
  10. To serve, remove the ice cream from the freezer 10-15 minutes before scooping. Gently lift the ice cream from the pan using the overhanging plastic wrap.
