Triple Chocolate Mint Brownie Ice Cream

Jump to Recipe

London is sweltering at the moment, with temperatures in the region of 29C – what’s a girl to do? Make (and eat) Triple Chocolate Mint Brownie Ice Cream of course!

This ice cream is decadent, creamy, richly flavoured with minted chocolate, loaded with tiny chunks of milk chocolate mint crisp with nuggets of Chocolate Mint Aero Brownie and Mint Aero. Oh yes!!!! Double scoop please!

Incredibly quick and easy to prepare, (if you have made the brownies you need in advance), this ice cream will take roughly 10 minutes to whip up; the only downside is waiting a few hours for it to freeze! But it really is worth the wait. This recipe is adapted from my No Churn Ice Cream – Core Recipe. For other easy ice cream ideas, take a look.

Whilst I do own an ice cream maker, my daughters are always after recipes which do not require a host of specialist equipment and can be whipped (literally) up in minutes. Enter no churn ice cream. The majority of these recipes are very quick to make although some, like this one and the strawberry ice cream, take a little longer, as additional ingredients are added which need to be prepared beforehand.

Charlotte’s boyfriend, Harry, provided the inspiration for this recipe. He is a massive chocolate mint fan and asked if I had a recipe for a Chocolate Mint Brownie Ice cream – I didn’t, although I did have a recipe for Double Chocolate Ice Cream and another one for Chocolate Mint Aero Brownies. I simply put them together, with some added mint and, hey presto, this recipe was born. I am pleased to say that both Charlotte and Harry absolutely loved it!

Even I love it! Whenever I visit an ice cream shop, I make a little pact with myself that I will try something other than chocolate – it never works. I see chocolate ice cream and I’m in there – if I’m going for a double scoop, the flavour I am most likely to add is mint chocolate chip. This recipe works for me on every level. I am very, very fussy and trust me, this recipe is amazing! Thank you Harry for the inspiration.

How to make Triple Chocolate Mint Brownie Ice Cream

Collect all your ingredients together:

• mint chocolate aero
• Chocolate Mint Aero Brownies
• sweetened condensed milk
• cocoa, sieved
• instant coffee, sieved
• salt
• double/heavy cream
• finely ground milk chocolate mint crisp, or your mint chocolate of choice. I used Cadbury’s.

How to make this luscious ice cream:

1. First finely chop the brownies into small chunks and pop in the freezer.
2. Secondly, finely chop the Aero mint chocolate into small chunks and also pop in the freezer.
3. Finely grind your chosen mint chocolate in a food processor – or you could grate or chop it.
4. Weigh the condensed milk, cocoa, coffee and salt into a mixing bowl and stir to mix.
5. Whisk well to blend thoroughly.
6. Add the double/heavy cream and whip until thickened.
7. Fold in the chopped chocolate.
8. Add the brownie and aero chunks from the freezer and fold in gently to mix.
9. Pour into a freezer proof container and, if you have any extra brownie pieces, add to the top of the ice cream.
10. Cover with baking parchment, seal with a lid and freeze for a minimum of 6 hours.
11. Voila!

NB You cannot taste the coffee, it is there as it helps to enhance the flavour of the chocolate. I always add a tiny bit of salt – it really helps to enhance all the flavours.
