Step 1
In a large bowl, beat the 2 cups heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. The cream should hold its shape when the beaters are lifted.
Step 2
In another bowl, whisk together the 1 can sweetened condensed milk, 0.5 cup cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 0.25 teaspoon salt until smooth and no lumps remain.
Step 3
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the cream. Fold until just combined, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Fold in the 2 cups cubed chocolate cake, then pour the mixture into a 9x5 inch loaf pan lined with plastic wrap. Smooth the top.
Step 5
Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm. To serve, let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes, then slice and enjoy.
