Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans Full-fat coconut milk
- 0.5 cup Cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Vegan marshmallows
- 0.75 cup Almonds
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Chill the coconut milk cans in the refrigerator overnight to allow the cream to separate from the liquid.
Once chilled, open the coconut milk cans and scoop out the solidified cream into a blender, discarding the liquid or reserving it for another use.
Add cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to the blender with the coconut cream.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and fully combined.
Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-30 minutes.
While the ice cream is churning, roughly chop the vegan marshmallows and almonds into small pieces.
In the last 5 minutes of churning, gradually add in the chopped marshmallows, chopped almonds, and chocolate chips to allow them to distribute evenly throughout the ice cream.
Once churned, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours until firm.
Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping, if needed. Serve and enjoy your dairy-free rocky road ice cream!
