Ingredients

• 2 cans (400 ml each) full-fat coconut milk
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 0.75 cup coconut sugar
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 0.75 cup vegan chocolate chunks
• 1 cup (mini size) vegan marshmallows
• 0.5 cup chopped almonds

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, coconut sugar, and cocoa powder. Whisk together until well mixed.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a gentle simmer. Do not let it boil.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add this slurry to the simmering mixture and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour the mixture into a large bowl and set it aside to cool to room temperature. Then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.

Step 6

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 7

Gently fold in the vegan chocolate chunks, vegan marshmallows, and chopped almonds.

Step 8

Transfer the ice cream into a freezer-safe container and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover tightly and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

Step 9

Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly. Scoop and enjoy your vegan rocky road ice cream!
