Baileys Chocolate Chip No-Churn Ice Cream Recipe

This Baileys Chocolate Chip No Churn Ice Cream is rich and creamy with the luxurious taste of Baileys Irish Cream and mini chocolate chips. It’s an indulgent treat that’s perfect for any occasion and easy to whip up without any special equipment.

I make a lot of ice cream for my family, from No-Churn Chocolate Chip Ricotta to No-Churn Fresh Raspberry Swirl Ice Cream. All of them are creamy and delicious and gone in no time!

 

The idea of putting 2 of my favourite things, Baileys and Chocolate into a No-Churn Ice Cream, was definitely a great idea on my part. Unfortunately everyone liked it too and it was gone in no time!

What are the ingredients for this No-Churn Ice Cream?

• Sweetened Condensed Milk – it is just milk that has had most of the water removed and sugar has been added.
• Cream – In order to whip cream you need to use whole, heavy or whipping cream which has at least 30% fat content.
• Chocolate Chips – I like to use mini chocolate chips, because personally I like the size of them, and I always reach for the semi sweet chips, although regular size chips or even milk chocolate would work perfect also.
• Baileys – Is an alcoholic drink that is flavoured with cream, cocoa, and Irish whiskey.

How to make Homemade Sweetened Condensed Milk

To make it at home you only need 2 ingredients whole milk and sugar. Two parts milk and 1 part sugar, for example 1 cup of milk and ½ cup of sugar.

In a medium pot boil the sugar and milk together until the mixture thickens, this should occur at 225F (107C) on a candy thermometer. Let cool to room temperature, use immediately or refrigerate, it will keep for up to 5-7 days in the fridge.

How to make Baileys chocolate chip No churn ice cream

In a small bowl whisk together the Baileys and sweetened condensed milk.

In a medium bowl whip the cream until stiff peaks appear.

Add the Baileys/Condensed milk mixture to the whipped cream. Gently fold until it is completely combined and smooth.

Place 1/3 into a loaf pan, top with 1/3 of the chips and continue with the layers until complete. Cover and freeze until firm, even better to freeze over night.

Variations

Feel free to add nuts, cookie pieces, or swirls of caramel or chocolate sauce to personalize your ice cream.

What does No-Churn Mean?

It means no ice cream maker is needed. All you really need is about 10 minutes and an electric mixer. The basic recipe uses only 3 ingredients, sweetened condensed milk, whole cream which is at least 30% fat and vanilla. Of course it’s the additions that take it over the top! It’s so easy even kids can help you do it.

What type of container should I freeze the ice cream in?

A loaf pan works well for freezing the ice cream as it allows for easy scooping. Alternatively, any airtight, freezer-safe container will work.

Is it necessary to use Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur?

While Baileys adds a distinct flavor, you can substitute it with a non-alcoholic Irish cream syrup if you prefer a non-alcoholic version.

How should I store the leftover ice cream?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. To prevent ice crystals from forming, you can press a piece of parchment paper directly onto the surface of the ice cream before sealing the container.

How long does no churn ice cream last in the freezer?

It will last for up to a couple of weeks, longer than that and the texture may become grainy with ice crystals. It should be kept in an airtight freezer safe container.
