This Single Serve Dark Chocolate Marshmallow Ice Cream makes a delicious, chocolatey pint-sized ice cream serving! No need to make a whole batch of ice cream, when you can have a single-serve marshmallow ice cream for just you!
One night, I grabbed a mini pint sized ice cream and just sat at my counter with a spoon as the perfect midnight snack! I thought this would be the perfect idea to create a single serving recipe for ice cream! I have single serving recipes for cookies, muffins, but no ice cream... At least, until now!
This no churn chocolate ice cream is the perfect base for whatever flavors you like best! Add in peanut butter, graham crackers, white chocolate, even pretzels if you like!

No-Churn Ice Cream
No-churn ice creams are my absolute favorite ice cream to make! You don't need any special equipment and it comes together so fast! Put away the eggs and machinery, you just need three base ingredients and a hand mixer!

Marshmallow Fluff
For this recipe, I prefer to use marshmallow fluff! Most of the time, I think you can get away with interchanging marshmallows with marshmallow fluff.
However, I don't personally love the texture that marshmallows have when frozen. I like that the marshmallow fluff swirls throughout the ice cream easier than marshmallows would!
It's up to you if you want to add marshmallows, but I would definitely recommend using mini versus large!
Ingredients
- Heavy Cream
- Cocoa Powder
- Sweetened Condensed Milk
- Vanilla Extract

Step-By-Step Instructions
- Step 1: Whip heavy cream to soft peaks.
- Step 2: In a small bowl, mix together sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, and vanilla.

- Step 4: Mix together.

Hint: The cocoa powder mixture will get pretty thick, so you might need to use a hand mixer to mix the chocolate mixture with the heavy cream!
Variations and Substitutions
This Single Serve Dark Chocolate Marshmallow Ice Cream is pretty easy to make, but the base of this recipe has unlimited flavor combinations!

Top tip
I like to add large swirls of marshmallow fluff and dark chocolate chunks to this ice cream, but the best part about this recipe is that you can use whatever fillings/toppings you like best!
Storage
- Freezer - store in an airtight container for about 2-3 months in the freezer!
FAQ
Nope! The best part about this ice cream is that it's 'no-churn' which means you only need a hand mixer to make this chocolatey dessert!
I like to use 100% cocoa, unsweetened when I'm looking for cocoa powder! You can use whatever brand you find, but make sure it's unsweetened! And yes there's a difference between cocoa powder and cacao powder!
Cheers!
