Hi Bold Bakers! One of the boldest ice cream flavors around is Rocky Road! Who doesn’t love the classic combination of rich chocolate ice cream, crunchy toasted almonds and sweet fluffy marshmallows? We all know and love this childhood favorite but the truth is this flavor is for everyone. Already have an account? My recipe for Rocky Road Ice Cream is over the top. It’s updated and made more complex in flavor by using good quality ingredients. My Rocky Road starts like any good homemade ice cream with a rich custard base. Eggs yolks, cream, milk and sugar are mixed with rich cocoa powder and melted chocolate. The chocolate is enhanced by vanilla extract and a healthy pinch of salt creating a flavor that is almost naturally malt-like. After the chocolate base churns for a bit in my KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker attachment I add in all the good stuff and I do not skimp. A healthy dose of crushed, toasted almonds and mini marshmallows get mixed throughout before this sets up in the freezer. Because I make a lot of ice cream I’m a huge fan of Tovolo’s Glide-A-Scoop Ice Cream Tubs. They are really well insulated so they keep your ice cream free of freezer burn. Also the shape allows you to get the perfect scoop of ice cream. All of these textures and flavors come together to create a super rich ice cream with loads of flavor in every bite. You must give this Rocky Road Ice Cream a try!
