Ingredients
Chocolate Base
- 110 grams dark or milk chocolate (or a combination)
- 6 tablespoons milk
Ice Cream Mixture
- 6 tablespoons cream
- 12 tablespoons Baileys Irish Cream
- 2 medium sized frozen bananas
Instructions
- Melt Chocolate: Place the chocolate and milk in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on full power for 30 seconds, then stir thoroughly. If the chocolate isn’t completely melted, continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring after each, being careful not to burn it as chocolate may look less melted than it actually is.
- Blend Ingredients: Add the melted chocolate mixture, cream, Baileys, and frozen bananas to a blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring all the ingredients are well combined.
- Freeze: Pour the blended ice cream base into a freezer-safe container, such as metal or plastic. Place it in the freezer and let it freeze for at least 5 hours or longer until firm.
- Garnish and Serve: Once frozen, serve your Baileys Chocolate Ice Cream topped with your choice of nuts, chocolate sauce, or any preferred add-ons for extra texture and flavor. Alternatively, enjoy it plain for an indulgent experience.
Notes
- Use either dark or milk chocolate according to preference or a combination to adjust sweetness and richness.
- The frozen bananas add natural sweetness and creaminess while helping to achieve the ice cream texture without an ice cream maker.
- Microwave times may vary based on the power of your microwave; carefully watch the chocolate to avoid burning.
- For firmer texture, allow freezing beyond 5 hours or overnight.
- Add toppings just before serving to maintain crunchiness.
