Super Chocolate Ice Cream

Prep Time10 minsCook Time30 minsTotal Time40 mins

Super Chocolate Ice Cream is the best chocolate dessert as it is such a versatile dessert. I love to always have some waiting in the freezer, just in case. It’s perfect to eat straight out of the tub, put on pancakes, use in a milkshake, to go a little bit healthy and have with fruit, o for a special winter treat, add a scoop or two to a hot chocolate and cuddle up under a blanket with a movie. Yum!
