Creamy, chocolatey, and packed with crunchy almonds, fluffy marshmallows, and chocolate chunks, this homemade Rocky Road Ice Cream is a no-churn treat that brings back all the nostalgic flavors of the classic scoop shop favorite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 3/4 cup chopped toasted almonds
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chunks or chips

Instructions

  1. Chill your loaf pan or container in the freezer while preparing the base.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk cocoa powder into sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks using a mixer.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until fully combined and fluffy.
  5. Fold in marshmallows, toasted almonds, and chocolate chunks gently.
  6. Pour mixture into chilled loaf pan. Smooth the top and sprinkle with extra mix-ins if desired.
  7. Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours or until firm.
  8. Let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping and serving.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream for the best texture.
  • Chilling the mix-ins helps prevent sinking.
  • Toast almonds before using for deeper flavor.
  • Freeze overnight for firmer scoops and cleaner texture.
