3-ingredient chocolate ice cream 🍫 Made with whip 3-ingredient chocolate ice cream 🍫

Made with whipping cream, egg yolks, and chocolate, it doesn’t taste like traditional ice cream at all. It’s rich, dense, silky, and somewhere between a chocolate truffle and a frozen mousse.

I added a splash of vanilla but you don’t have to.

No ice cream maker. No condensed milk. Just three simple ingredients and a little patience while it freezes

What should we call it?

I share my method for making bala baiana, the vira I share my method for making bala baiana, the viral Brazilian candy that I grew up eating. I walk through cooking the filling until it pulls from the pan, rolling it into balls, dipping toothpick tips in butter before inserting them, and cooking the syrup to the hard-crack stage. Then I show how to work quickly—tilting the pan and twirling the candies in the syrup to create that signature crackly shell. I even brought back authentic paper cups from Brazil to serve them in.
