When it’s cold outside, the last thing you want is a cold dessert, but hear me out!
Imagine tucking into a hot sticky toffee pudding with a scoop of this yummy chocolate toffee ice cream – a heavenly mouthful for sure!
Ice cream isn’t just for the summer months, this no-churn recipe can be made in less than 30 minutes, and then sit happily in the freezer until you are ready to enjoy it.
The homemade chocolate syrup is drizzled through the ice cream, and it can be poured over the top (warm or cold) too. Allow a little time for it to cool down before making the ice cream (or make it in advance). To save on time you can use store-bought syrup if you wish.

Recipes on The Purple Pumpkin Blog use both cup measurements and/or weighted measurements. American cups and kitchen food scales are handy pieces of equipment to have in your kitchen as it means you’ll be able to make all of the different recipes on my blog. I try to give American, imperial, and metric measurements in my recipes. Please note, you can mix cup measurements with weighted measurements, but never mix imperial (pounds, ounces, pints, etc.,) with metric (kilograms, grams, litres, etc.,).

No-Churn Chocolate Toffee Ice Cream
Using the main Ingredients of cream, condensed milk, toffee bits, and homemade chocolate syrup this recipe takes just 25 mins to make (plus freezing time of course - 4 hrs minimum)!
Ingredients
For the Chocolate Sauce
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup white sugar
- ⅓ cup unsweetened dark cocoa powder
- 1 tsp real vanilla extract
- ⅛ tsp salt
For the Ice Cream
- 2 cups heavy cream (double cream)
- 1 (14-oz/397g) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp real vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup chocolate syrup, chilled, divided (recipe above)
- ⅔ cup Heath English Toffee Bits*
For Garnish
- Additional Heath Toffee Bits and chocolate syrup
Instructions
- To prepare the chocolate syrup, combine the water, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt in a small skillet set over medium heat.
Whisk vigorously for 2-3 minutes until the sugar is dissolved and the cocoa powder is thoroughly incorporated into the mixture. Remove from heat and cool completely.
Cover and store in the refrigerator in an airtight container until ready to use.** - Pour heavy whipping cream into a large mixing bowl and beat on high until light and fluffy. Use a spatula while mixing to scrape the sides of the bowl to ensure all of the heavy cream is whipped. Set aside.
- Pour sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract into a large bowl and stir to combine. Lighten the condensed milk by gently folding a small amount of the whipped cream into the bowl. Do not overmix. Add the rest of the whipped cream and fold into the mixture until thoroughly combined.
- Pour half of the whipped cream mixture into a 9”x5” loaf pan and spread into an even layer.
- Drizzle half the chocolate syrup and spread 1/3 cup of the toffee bits evenly across the top.
- Spoon the remaining whipped cream mixture on top and spread until smooth. Repeat the process described in Steps 4 and 5 with the remaining chocolate syrup and toffee.
- Insert a butter knife into the mixture at one end of the loaf pan and pull it back and forth across the length of the pan to incorporate the chocolate and toffee throughout. Cover with some plastic wrap and gently press across the top to remove any air bubbles. Place in the freezer for a minimum of four hours, or preferably, overnight.
- Remove from freezer 10-15 minutes before serving to soften. To serve, scoop into individual bowls and top with additional chocolate sauce and toffee bits if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- *Can be substituted for crushed English toffee
- **Prepare the chocolate syrup in advance to allow adequate time to cool and chill prior to using in this recipe.
