Chocoholics and sweet-loving foodies everywhere are dishing about this recipe for one reason: it’s delicious.

We believe that 24 hours will only make your heart grow fonder for this homemade chocolate ice cream recipe that will finally satisfy the chocolate craving you have.
What Is in Death by Chocolate Ice Cream?
Death by chocolate ice cream combines some of the world’s best foods: variations of chocolate. The recipe calls for chocolate chips, brownie chunks (need we say more?) and cocoa powder and combines the deliciousness of those ingredients with the full-fat flavors of heavy cream, whole milk and cream cheese.
The great thing about this recipe is that you can easily substitute other things for the mix-ins. Don’t like brownies? Substitute velvety fudge instead. Prefer white chocolate? Use white chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate.
