• 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

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt over medium heat.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled.

Step 5

Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20 to 25 minutes.

Step 6

Five minutes before the churning is completed, add the mini marshmallows and semi-sweet chocolate chips to incorporate them into the ice cream.

Step 7

Transfer the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

Step 8

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!
