Rocky Road Ice Cream is a three ingredient, homemade ice cream filled with a chocolate swirl, marshmallows and peanuts for the ultimate rocky road experience!
Its been awhile since I made ice cream on this blog. (Remember my No Churn Vanilla Ice Cream and Chocolate Fudge Swirl Ice Cream?)
This three ingredient, no churn, super quick and easy to make ice cream is my all time favourite ice cream! I will take this homemade ice cream over any others any day of the week.
Not only is it so easy to make but you know what's in it, you know how its made, there aren't any strange additives or preservatives and you get the satisfaction and the fun of making ice cream yourself.
Today's variation of the ice cream is rocky road. I love the flavours of rocky road and I have many variations of rocky road on the blog if you want a rocky road slice. Today we take the classic flavours of chocolate, marshmallow and peanut and add them to ice cream.
We use chopped peanuts (if you don't like peanuts you could add another nut or omit them altogether.)
I'm not the biggest fan of peanuts so I didn't add the peanuts all the way through the ice cream and instead saved them and added them as a garnish on anyone's serving who wanted them. The options are there and what you choose to do is up to you.
Next we use marshmallows. I chopped my marshmallows different sizes ranging from halves, quarters and full size marshmallows. Another option is to use mini marshmallows and save time chopping, I just prefer the taste and texture of regular size marshmallows.
Finally we make a simple chocolate sauce to swirl through the ice cream and that's i!. You could go one step further and add chocolate chips throughout if you like texture in your ice cream. I personally don't like crunching through chocolate chips in ice cream but again, this is all down to personal preference.
