Recipe: Rocky Road Ice Cream

Ingredients

• 500 ml (2 cups) heavy cream
• 250 ml (1 cup) whole milk
• 150 g (3/4 cup) granulated sugar
• 60 g (1/2 cup) unsweetened cocoa powder
• 5 ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract
• 100 g (1 cup) mini marshmallows
• 100 g (3/4 cup) chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts preferred)
• 100 g (3.5 oz) dark chocolate pieces
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chocolate Base

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Gradually stir in the milk until smooth. Heat over medium heat until the mixture begins to simmer, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.

Step 2: Combine with Cream

Remove the saucepan from heat and pour in the heavy cream. Stir to mix thoroughly. Add in the vanilla extract and whisk together. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until completely chilled.

Step 3: Churn the Ice Cream

Once chilled, pour the cold chocolate mixture into your ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, or until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Step 4: Add Mix-Ins

During the last 5 minutes of churning, add the mini marshmallows, dark chocolate pieces, and chopped nuts to the ice cream. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 5: Freeze

Transfer the ice cream into a freezer-safe container using a rubber spatula. Cover the surface directly with parchment paper or plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming. Freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

Step 6: Serve

Once frozen, scoop the Rocky Road Ice Cream into bowls or cones. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of creamy richness and crunchy goodness.
