Chocolate Chip Marshmallow Ice Cream
This was originally a rocky road recipe, but my kids don't like nuts so I added mini chocolate chips instead. If you want rocky road you can substitute the chocolate chips for chopped almonds or walnuts. You can also omit the chocolate chips and marshmallows to make a basic chocolate. This recipe works best when you refrigerate the mixture for several hours before freezing.
DIRECTIONS
- Mix the cocoa powder and the sugar in a saucepan. Add 2 cups of the milk and heat on medium for about 10-15 minutes until it is smooth. Take off heat and let cool to room temperature. Once cooled, put saucepan in the refrigerator for 4-5 hours (or as long as possible).
- In your ice cream container, add the other 2 cups of milk, whipping cream, vanilla and salt. Pour in your cooled chocolate mixture and stir. Add your mini chocolate chips and your marshmallows and stir again. Freeze right away as your chocolate chips will settle to the bottom.
- Once frozen, give it a good stir to get the chocolate chips and marshmallows evenly distributed. Place in a freezer safe container. Top with wax paper to avoid freezer burn. It should be good for one week.
