Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup low-fat evaporated milk
- 1 cup skim milk
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 0.5 cup chopped almonds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the low-fat evaporated milk, skim milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the cocoa powder and sugar are fully dissolved.
Pour the cocoa mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
When the mixture has thickened and is nearing the end of churning, gradually add the mini marshmallows and chopped almonds to the ice cream maker.
Let the machine incorporate the marshmallows and almonds into the ice cream.
Transfer the ice cream into an air-tight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to allow it to firm up.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
