If you’re try to plan your Easter dessert, then let it include this Chocolate Cadbury Crème Ice Cream. It’s a homemade dark chocolate ice cream loaded with Cadbury Creme Eggs! I meeaaaaaan……love.
This was my first homemade chocolate ice cream and I have fallen totally in love. I have to say my KitchenAid ice cream maker doesn’t get nearly enough of a workout. More ice cream recipes please!
If you are like me, maybe you are a little intimated to make homemade ice cream. I promise you that there is nothing to be afraid of! It is seriously so easy and you might never buy store-bought ice cream again. Eh, that’s a stretch, but you know what I mean!
Easy base recipe for any homemade ice cream.
To make this ice cream you only need 4 simple ingredients:
- Heavy whipping cream
- Granulated Sugar
- Cocoa powder (dark chocolate preferred- I like Hershey’s Special Dark)
- Vanilla Extract
The steps to make this are simple!
- First you’ll heat a portion of the heavy cream together with the sugar and cocoa powder so that they dissolve into the heavy cream.
- Then you’lladd the remaining heavy cream and refrigerate the mixer until it’s completely cooled.
Don’t forget toprefreeze your ice cream maker according to the manufacturers instructions. This after requires 12+ hours, so through that in the freezer a day ahead of time.
Helpful tips for the Cadbury Eggs
The key to keeping the characteristics of the Cadbury Eggs- ie the cream filling, I cut them into pieces and frozen them before adding them to the churning ice cream. This will leave your ice cream with chunks of the Cadbury Eggs as opposed to the filling mixing into the ice cream. It’s a win if you ask me.
So make sure you also toss these in the freezer ahead of time so that they have a chance to freeze too.
When adding the ice cream, it’s best to add once it reaches the soft-serve like consistency. Then save 1/3 of the chocolate eggs to add once you’ve poured it into your freezer-safe container. This guarantees you’ll have chunks throughout.
