Ingredients
  

Cream base
  • 2 cup heavy whipping cream Chill the cream for best whipping volume.
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk Use sweetened condensed milk, not evaporated milk.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Fudge and mix-ins
  • 1 cup fudge sauce Warm slightly for easier drizzling and swirling.
  • 1.5 cup brownie chunks, baked and cooled For sturdier chunks, use day-old brownies.

Equipment

  • 1 loaf pan

Method
 

Whip and mix the base
  1. Whip the heavy whipping cream in a large bowl until stiff peaks form, about 3–6 minutes, scraping the sides as needed.
  2. Whisk the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture until fully combined, keeping the mixture airy.
Fold in brownies and swirl
  1. Fold in the brownie chunks, reserving a few for topping, and distribute them evenly.
  2. Pour half the mixture into a loaf pan and drizzle with half the fudge sauce in ribbons.
  3. Pour the remaining mixture into the loaf pan, drizzle with the remaining fudge sauce, then swirl gently with a knife to create a marbled pattern.
  4. Top with the reserved brownie chunks.
Freeze and serve
  1. Freeze for at least 6 hours, until firm throughout, then slice or scoop directly from the freezer.

Notes

Pro tip: warm the fudge sauce slightly for easier swirling, and use a toothpick or the tip of a knife to create fine ribbon patterns. Store tightly covered in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Freezing works well for this no-churn dessert, but avoid repeated thawing and refreezing. Dietary swap: for a lactose-free version, use lactose-free sweetened condensed milk and cream.
