Ingredients

For Ice Cream:

1 3/4 cups (14oz) cold sweetened condensed milk (if making your own, see link above in blog post)
2 cups heavy whipping cream cold
1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
Assorted chocolate goodies if using in any amount desired

For Cones:

12 waffle cones
1 cup quality dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup your choice of chopped nuts mini chocolate chips

Instructions

For Ice Cream:

Place heavy whipping cream and vanilla paste or extract in the bowl of a stand mixer with whisk attachment (or use a bowl and hand mixer)
Beat on medium until soft peaks form (this usually takes 3-5 minutes)
Add cold sweetened condensed milk, beat again for 30 seconds
Fold in chocolate goodies by hand if using
Pour into a container, cover and set in freezer for at least 4 hours.
Note: If you are using chocolate covered nuts etc... they may sink to the bottom of your ice cream. There is nothing you can do about this, so this is what I recommend: after ice cream has been in the freezer for at least four hours, scoop it out into another container, stirring to mix in the chocolate additions. Place back in the freezer.
Best if used within six weeks. Enjoy!

For Cones:

Melt chocolate according to package instructions in double boiler or microwave
Transfer melted chocolate to shallow bowl and roll top of waffle cones in chocolate
Roll in nuts or chocolate chips
Set standing on wax paper (chocolate side down) till chocolate firms up
