Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Mini marshmallows
- 0.5 cup Sliced almonds
- 0.5 cup Chocolate chunks
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and salt.
Gradually add the heavy cream and whole milk to the dry ingredients, whisking until fully combined and smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until well-chilled.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This typically takes about 20-25 minutes.
In the last 5 minutes of churning, add the mini marshmallows, sliced almonds, and chocolate chunks to the ice cream maker, allowing them to incorporate evenly.
Once the ice cream has reached a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to an airtight container.
Smooth the top and place the ice cream in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until it firms up to your desired consistency.
Serve scooped into bowls or cones and enjoy your homemade Rocky Road Ice Cream!
