How to Make Choco-Chill Cheesecake Ice Cream Bliss
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips, melted
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- Chocolate sauce (for topping)
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Graham cracker crumbs (for topping)
Directions:
Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Set aside.
Make the Cheesecake Ice Cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk, mixing until well combined.
Add the Heavy Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and vanilla extract, then beat the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy.
Incorporate Chocolate: Gently fold in the melted chocolate chips and cocoa powder until fully combined, creating a rich chocolate cheesecake mixture.
Assemble: Pour the cheesecake ice cream mixture over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Freeze: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until the ice cream is firm.
Serve: Once frozen, remove the cheesecake ice cream from the springform pan. Drizzle with chocolate sauce, add dollops of whipped cream, and sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs before slicing.
