Thermomix Chocolate Mint Ice Cream
Creamy, refreshing, and packed with rich chocolate flavour - this Thermomix Chocolate Mint Ice Cream is a must-try for choc-mint lovers!
Ingredients
- 600ml thickened cream (full fat whipping cream)
- 395g sweetened condensed milk
- 60g cocoa powder, unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
Instructions
- Insert the butterfly whisk into the Thermomix bowl. Add the cream and whip for 2 mins - 3 mins/speed 3 with the measuring cap off. Timing varies depending on the quantity and freshness of the cream and how chilled it is.
- Observe the cream carefully through the lid after 30 seconds to avoid over-whipping. If you're unsure about the thickness, stop, open the lid, and mix again for another 3+ second increments. Whip the cream until stiff peaks form. For more tips on whipping cream in the Thermomix, I have written a blog post, which you can read here.
- Once the cream is whipped, add the sweetened condensed milk, peppermint extract and cocoa powder and whip for 10 sec/speed 3 with the measuring cap on. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula, then mix again for 10 sec/speed 3. Stir in any loose bits of cream into the mixture with a spatula.
- Transfer the mixture to a freezer-proof container and freeze for at least 6 hours.
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit on the benchtop for a few minutes to be soft enough to scoop.
