Dark Chocolate Peppermint Ice Cream, no ice cream maker needed! Super easy!

Dark Chocolate Peppermint Ice Cream No ice cream maker needed!! Just a blender and a freezer! Perfect for a simple dessert!

Sometimes, you just need chocolate. Lots of chocolate, to be exact.

That is exactly the situation I found myself in a few weekends ago, I wanted something sweet. And none of that this-is-actually-good-for-you-healthy-snacking-kind-of-sweet, I wanted the I-am-going-to-have-to-go-run-that-off-kind-of-sweet. The problem is, I don’t keep the good kind of sweets in our house. We never have cookies, cakes, pies, or ice cream just lying around. Those things are usually only for really special occasions, but my craving could not be denied.

I scoured the cabinets and decided to make ice cream, but an easy ice cream. I had no intentions of dragging the ice cream maker out of the attic, so I grabbed a couple ingredients and got to work.

I could have just gone with a rich dark chocolate ice cream, but I decided to go all out and add peppermint too.

So I combined one can of sweetened and condensed milk with some milk, heavy cream, cocoa powder, and few drops of peppermint essential oil right in a blender. I blended the mixture until it was totally combined and then poured it right into a loaf pan, then placed the pan in the freezer.

    I have got to try you no ice cream maker method! I have an ice cream maker, but you have to freeze the bowl for 24 hours, and it is never frozen when I am craving homemade icecream. Can't wait to make this!

    This looks so incredibly rich and delicious. Plus, no need to drag my own ice cream maker out of the basement - bonus! I'm loving this giveaway. I think I'd want to try the lavender most...but then the others in short order.

    Daek chocolate and peppermint two of my favorite flavor combos. I'm missing my Blue Bell ice cream badly, this might do the trick!

    This ice cream looks so delicious and how easy! I've never tried using essential oils to cook with, but it looks like something I need to do. I totally know what you mean about the whole ice cream maker in the attic situation.

    I love that you can use different essential oils to flavour ice cream - or anything really. A dark chocolate and peppermint ice cream is such a classic so I can imagine how delicious this must have tasted Annie!

    No churn ice cream is so nice and creamy and too easy to pass up. This looks like an ultra dose of chocolate, which I love, and with peppermint, even better!

    My husband was really craving some dessert the other day and I made him a peanut butter and banana smoothie, I think he might rather live at your house, haha! Peppermint and chocolate is one of my favorite flavor combos and I love that you don't need an ice cream maker for this! Although, I do own one that I've only used twice, ha!
