Hershey’s Chocolate Éclair Ice Cream Recipe
The Hershey’s chocolate éclair ice cream recipe is rich, creamy and full of chocolate goodness. It tastes like a mix of ice cream and classic éclair dessert.
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Hershey’s chocolate syrup
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1/2 cup melted chocolate for topping
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
Prepare the Cream Base
- In a mixing bowl, add heavy cream and whip until soft peaks form. The cream should look light and fluffy. This is the base of your ice cream.
Add Sweet Milk
- Slowly add sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream. Mix gently using a spatula. Do not overmix or the cream may lose its fluffiness.
Add Vanilla Flavor
- Add vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir lightly until fully combined. This gives a smooth and sweet aroma to the ice cream base.
Prepare Chocolate Layer
- In a small saucepan, mix Hershey’s chocolate syrup, milk, and butter. Heat on low flame until smooth. Let it cool before using.
Layer the Ice Cream
- Take a freezer-safe dish. Add a layer of cream mixture. Then add crushed graham crackers. Drizzle chocolate sauce on top. Repeat layers until full.
Freeze the Mixture
- Cover the dish tightly. Place it in the freezer for at least 6 to 8 hours. This helps the ice cream set properly.
Add Chocolate Topping
- Before serving, melt chocolate slightly. Drizzle it over the frozen ice cream. It will create a rich chocolate shell effect.
Serve and Enjoy
- Scoop the ice cream into bowls. Serve immediately while cold. Enjoy the creamy layers and chocolate flavor in every bite.
Notes
- Use dark chocolate for stronger flavor
- Add nuts for extra crunch
- Replace graham crackers with biscuits
- Add caramel sauce for sweetness
- Whip cream longer for lighter texture
