• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup mini marshmallows
• 1/2 cup sliced almonds
• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Gradually bring the mixture to a simmer, whisking continuously until the sugar and cocoa powder dissolve completely and the mixture is smooth.

Step 3

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

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Add mini marshmallows, sliced almonds, and semisweet chocolate chips to the ice cream maker during the last 5 minutes of churning.

Step 7

Transfer the churned ice cream to a lidded, freezer-safe container and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Freeze the rocky road ice cream for at least 4 hours or until firm before serving.
