Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder.
Gradually bring the mixture to a simmer, whisking continuously until the sugar and cocoa powder dissolve completely and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the mixture into a heat-resistant bowl, let it cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until well chilled.
Once the mixture is completely chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Add mini marshmallows, sliced almonds, and semisweet chocolate chips to the ice cream maker during the last 5 minutes of churning.
Transfer the churned ice cream to a lidded, freezer-safe container and smooth the top with a spatula.
Cover the ice cream with a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming, then place the lid on the container.
Freeze the rocky road ice cream for at least 4 hours or until firm before serving.
Scoop and enjoy your homemade rocky road ice cream!
