Description

This homemade Rocky Road Ice Cream recipe is a creamy, no-churn delight packed with marshmallows, peanuts, and chocolate chips. Made with simple ingredients like heavy whipping cream and sweetened condensed milk, this frozen treat requires no ice cream maker and is perfect for satisfying your chocolate and nut cravings in a rich, crunchy, and smooth dessert.

Ingredients

Ice Cream Base

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup peanuts, chopped
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream on high speed until stiff peaks form, creating a light and airy texture.
  2. Combine Base Ingredients: Gently fold the vanilla extract and sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream, ensuring the mixture is smooth and evenly combined without deflating the whipped cream.
  3. Add Rocky Road Mix-ins: Carefully fold in the mini marshmallows, chopped peanuts, and chocolate chips to evenly distribute these signature Rocky Road ingredients throughout the mixture.
  4. Freeze the Mixture: Transfer the combined mixture into a plastic ice cream tub or loaf pan. Smooth the top and cover it tightly, then freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the ice cream is firm enough to scoop.
  5. Serve: Scoop out the frozen Rocky Road ice cream and enjoy it as is or with your favorite toppings for added flavor and texture.
  6. Storage: Store any leftovers covered in the freezer for up to 1 month to maintain freshness and texture.

Notes

  • Do not overmix when folding in the condensed milk to maintain the fluffiness of the whipped cream.
  • Feel free to substitute peanuts with other nuts like almonds or walnuts for variety.
  • For extra chocolate flavor, use dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips depending on your preference.
  • Add-ins such as crushed cookies or dried fruit can also enhance the texture and taste.
  • Make sure your container is airtight to prevent ice crystals from forming during freezing.
