Step into the End dimension with our Enderman Liquorice Swirl Ice Cream – rich black cocoa, glossy liquorice, and shimmering purple flair in every scoop.
There’s something about a reader suggestion that sparks a bit of magic in our kitchen — and Alice’s idea did exactly that.
After her comment on our Minecraft-Inspired Ice Cream Recipes article, we couldn’t resist venturing into the End dimension and creating a flavour worthy of its most shadowy inhabitant.
Meet the Enderman Liquorice Swirl Ice Cream — a brooding, mysterious scoop inspired by Minecraft’s tall, teleporting mob. With black cocoa, glossy liquorice ripples, and shimmering purple accents, it’s a dessert that’s dramatic, delicious, and definitely not afraid of the dark.
The Inspiration Behind the Scoop
If you missed our Minecraft-Inspired Ice Cream Recipes, you’ll find everything from Creeper Mint Chip Kaboom to Redstone Raspberry Pops — fun fusions born from imagination and fandom.
But it was Alice’s brilliant suggestion in the comments that truly set our imaginations alight:
“I’m curious, have you considered adding a Redstone Raspberry Ripple or an Enderman Licorice Swirl to the lineup?”
And we thought — why not? The Enderman’s eerie elegance, the deep black tones of cocoa, the glossy texture of liquorice — it all just worked.
So, after a few experimental batches (and a bit of purple glitter chaos), we perfected a recipe that feels like it was teleported straight from the End.

🖤 Enderman Liquorice Swirl Ice Cream
A dark chocolate base sets the tone, while streaks of liquorice syrup or aniseed extract are rippled through for depth and dimension. Add an optional swirl of blueberry compote and some purple glitter for flair, and you’ve got an End-worthy frozen creation.
(Prep Time: 15 mins | Freeze Time: 4–6 hrs | Total Time: Approx. 5 hrs | Servings: 6)
Flavour Profile:
- Black cocoa for that rich, almost Oreo-like depth
- Liquorice syrup or aniseed extract for dark, mysterious sweetness
- Blueberry or blackberry ripple for that glowing End aesthetic
- Purple glitter, sugar shards, or popping candy to echo Enderman energy
Ingredients (No-Churn or Churned)
- 300ml double cream
- 200ml sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tbsp black cocoa powder (or dark Dutch-processed cocoa)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp liquorice extract or 2 tbsp ready-made liquorice syrup
- Optional: 2 tbsp blueberry or blackberry compote
- Black gel food colouring (optional)
- Purple sprinkles or edible glitter, for effect
Method
- Whip the cream to soft peaks in a large bowl.
- Mix the base: In a separate bowl, combine condensed milk, cocoa, vanilla, and liquorice extract until smooth.
- Fold together gently, then tint with a few drops of black colouring if you want a deeper hue.
- Swirl in the flavour: Add the liquorice syrup and compote, then marble with a skewer.
- Freeze: Spoon into a lidded container, top with glitter or sprinkles, and freeze for 4–6 hours until scoopable.
Serve it up with a spoon… but maybe don’t look it directly in the eye. 👀

Churned or No-Churn – Your Choice
This recipe works both ways — teleport your texture however you like!
- No-Churn: Simply whip, fold, swirl, and freeze for 4–6 hours. The condensed milk keeps it scoopable and rich without any fancy gadgets.
- Churned: Chill your mix for 3–4 hours, then process in your ice-cream maker until thick and creamy before freezing.

- Serve in square moulds or cubes to mimic Minecraft pixels.
- Sprinkle with edible glitter or violet sugar dust for that otherworldly shimmer.
- Add a liquorice shard or black tuile to echo the Enderman’s silhouette.

🌱 Dairy-Free & Vegan Swaps
This shadowy scoop works just as well dairy-free — and still delivers that rich, moody flavour.
- Swap double cream for full-fat coconut cream or barista oat cream.
- Replace condensed milk with sweetened condensed coconut milk.
- Use vegan liquorice syrup instead of extract for a smoother finish.
- For toppings, opt for vegan-friendly sprinkles or glitter.
💡 Pro tip: For ultra-smooth texture, blend your coconut cream before mixing — it’ll mimic the aeration of whipped dairy cream perfectly.
❓ FAQ – Your Enderman Ice Cream Questions Answered
1. Can I use regular cocoa powder instead of black cocoa?
Yes — though you’ll get a lighter colour and a slightly more traditional chocolate flavour. Add a few drops of black food colouring if you still want that deep, dark hue.
2. What can I use if I don’t like liquorice?
Try swapping the extract for aniseed syrup or molasses — both offer rich depth without the intense liquorice note.
3. How do I get clean swirl layers?
Chill your base slightly before swirling — a thicker texture helps the syrup sit in ribbons rather than sinking.
4. Can I make it less sweet?
Absolutely. Reduce the condensed milk slightly and add a teaspoon of instant coffee or a pinch of salt to balance the flavour.
5. Can I make this recipe vegan?
Yes! Follow the swaps in the Dairy-Free section — it turns out silky, scoopable, and just as striking.
