1/4 cup Prestige Margarine

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional for extra chocolatey goodness)

Step 1: Chocolate Bliss

Step 4: Chilling Vibes

Pour in the heavy cream and give the mixture one final loving stir. Cover the bowl and let it chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight. This step allows the flavors to meld and results in an incredibly smooth ice cream.

Step 5: Churn it Up

Once your mixture is chilled and ready,You can churn it by placing the mixture in a lidded container in the freezer, stirring every 30 minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.

Step 6: Chocolate Chip Bonus (Optional)

If you’re feeling extra indulgent, fold in the chocolate chips as the ice cream begins to thicken. This step guarantees delightful chocolate surprises with every scoop.

Step 7: Freeze and Savor

Transfer your freshly churned (or no-churn) ice cream into an airtight container and let it freeze for a few hours to firm up. Once it’s ready, scoop out a generous portion and enjoy the creamy, chocolatey goodness that only Prestige Margarine can offer.
