Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Mini marshmallows
- 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt over medium heat.
Whisk the mixture continuously until the sugar and cocoa are fully dissolved, ensuring there are no lumps and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20 to 25 minutes.
Five minutes before the churning is completed, add the mini marshmallows and semi-sweet chocolate chips to incorporate them into the ice cream.
Transfer the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to make it easier to scoop. Enjoy your delicious nut-free rocky road ice cream!
