Chocolate Milk Ice Cream

The best thing about chocolate milk ice cream is that it is guilt-free. You can use lower-fat versions of this popular treat, or go all-out and use whole chocolate milk. Either way, it is delicious and refreshing. Just make sure to refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to ensure that the cacao powder is fully hydrated. Once frozen, it will be easy to scoop and serve! If it gets too soft, you can store it in the freezer until it hardens.

You can use any combination of ingredients that you wish. Add a pinch of instant coffee or espresso powder for a stronger chocolate flavor, or even a small amount of espresso powder. If you have a microwave or freezer, you can also put some crushed nuts, dried fruit, or broken pretzels on top of the ice cream. Once frozen, enjoy!
