Print Recipe

Indulge in the timeless delight of homemade chocolate chip ice cream! Creamy vanilla pairs perfectly with the crunch of chocolate chips, creating a dessert that’s both classic and comforting. With just a few simple ingredients, this recipe is easy to make and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ cups whole milk
  • 1⅛ cups granulated sugar
  • 3 cups heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Mix Milk and Sugar: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer on low speed to combine the whole milk and granulated sugar. Mix for about 2 minutes until the sugar is fully dissolved. The mixture should feel smooth without any graininess.
  2. Add Cream and Vanilla: Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract until well blended. Be gentle to maintain a light texture.
  3. Churn the Mixture: Pour the mixture into the pre-frozen bowl of your ice cream maker. Churn for 20–25 minutes or until it thickens to a soft-serve consistency.
  4. Incorporate Chocolate Chips: During the last 5 minutes of churning, add the chocolate chips gradually to distribute them evenly throughout the ice cream.
  5. Freeze (Optional): For firmer ice cream, transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for about 2 hours. If you prefer soft-serve, enjoy it straight from the machine!

Notes

Serving Suggestions

  • Scoop into waffle cones or bowls and top with extra chocolate chips or caramel drizzle for added indulgence.
  • Pair with warm brownies or cookies for a decadent dessert experience.

Tips & Tricks

  • Pre-freeze your ice cream maker bowl for at least 12 hours to ensure proper churning.
  • Chill the chocolate chips beforehand to prevent melting during mixing.
  • Avoid over-churning, as this can lead to a buttery texture.

Storage & Reheating

  • Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. To prevent freezer burn, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface before sealing.
  • Allow frozen ice cream to sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping for easier serving.
