No-Churn Rocky Road Ice Cream

What is No-Churn Ice Cream?

No-churn ice cream is a type of ice cream that doesn’t require an ice cream maker to churn and freeze. Instead, it’s made with a combination of heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and a pinch of salt. The mixture is whipped until stiff peaks form, then frozen until set. The result is a creamy, smooth ice cream that’s surprisingly similar to traditional churned ice cream.

The Rocky Road Twist

Our no-churn rocky road ice cream takes the classic flavors of chocolate, marshmallows, and nuts to the next level. We’ve added in chunks of rich, dark chocolate, toasted marshmallows, and crunchy chopped nuts to create a treat that’s both decadent and fun.

The Recipe

Here’s what you’ll need to make our no-churn rocky road ice cream:

Ingredients:

 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
 1 cup heavy cream
 1/2 teaspoon salt
 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (at least 60% cocoa)
 1 cup mini marshmallows
 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans work well)
 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Fold the whipped cream into the sweetened condensed milk mixture until well combined.
4. Melt the dark chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval until smooth.
5. Fold the melted chocolate into the cream mixture until well combined.
6. Stir in the mini marshmallows and chopped nuts.
7. Pour the mixture into an airtight container and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Tips and Variations

 For an extra creamy ice cream, make sure to whip the heavy cream until it’s stiff and holds its shape.
 If you prefer a lighter chocolate flavor, use milk chocolate chips instead of dark chocolate.
 Add in some dried cranberries or cherries for a fruity twist on the classic rocky road flavor.
 Experiment with different types of nuts, such as almonds or hazelnuts, for a unique flavor profile.
