Rocky Road Ice Cream

Rocky Road Ice Cream is a summertime favorite! Creamy chocolate ice cream is filled with chewy marshmallows and sliced almonds. 

Once you make Homemade Rocky Road Ice Cream you'll be making it all year! Not only is it easy to make but this is simply the best recipe!

I scream you scream we all scream for Homemade Rocky Road Ice Cream!

Who doesn't just love rocky road ice cream? It's a smash hit in our house.

Our kids have a fun time helping create the ice cream, the boys had fun helping stir and add ingredients as needed.

I also love that there is no question about what ingredients are in the ice cream, since it's from scratch.

If were going to get real here there are very few ice creams quite as good..

Here's how to make Homemade Rocky Road Ice Cream:

Whisk together in a large saucepan until well combined:

• 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder
• 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar

A 1/4 cup at a time to prevent lumps whisk in:

• 2 cups Whole Milk
• 2 cups Heavy Cream 

Heat over medium heat until simmering.

Whisk together 4 whole Egg Yolks in a heat safe container.

Once cream mixture comes to a simmer remove from heat and stir in:

• 1/2 cup Good Quality Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips

Stir until chocolate is melted.

Stir in Chocolate Ice Cream base mixture in with egg yolks 1/4 cup at a time to temper yolks and prevent curdling until 2 cups chocolate-cream mixture has been added.

Pour egg yolk mixture into the remaining chocolate cream mixture in the pan.

Continue to stir over medium heat and return to a simmer.

Cook about 2 minutes until slightly thickened and remove from heat.

Stir until well combined:

• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract 

Place into a heat safe bowl. Cover and refrigerate until cold.

In an ice cream maker add Chocolate Ice Cream base mixture and process according to manufacturers instructions. 

I processed mine for 15 minutes until looking almost like soft serve ice cream. 

After 15 minutes I added the 1 cup Sliced Almonds.

Mix in:

• 1 cup Mini Marshmallows

Process another 5 minutes.

After 20 minutes ice cream should look like soft serve.

Remove ice cream mixture to a freezer safe container.

I used a plastic storage container this time but next time I am going to try a left over yogurt container.

I think it might hold up better when scooping. Freeze for at least 6 hours or until firm.

Rocky Road Ice Cream is ready to serve when it's frozen solid.
