This chocolaty vegan rocky road ice cream is rich, creamy and delicious. The perfect healthy, dairy free ice cream for adults and children.
Rocky road is a classic flavor that so many people love. Maybe because it’s a twist of the classic chocolate ice cream. My vegan version is no exception. You only need a few simple ingredients to make this decadent ice cream:
- Coconut milk, canned
- Cocoa powder
- Maple syrup
- Vanilla extract
- Almonds
- Marshmallows, I used vegan
- Hazelnuts are optional but totally recommended.
I used coconut milk, but you can replace it for vegan heavy cream or regular heavy cream if not vegan.
Making your own ice cream has a lot of benefits. You can control the ingredients and flavors; save money and you will always have it available. Although I have an ice cream maker, you definitely don’t need one to make delicious ice creams.
If you don’t have an ice cream maker just mix and blend the ingredients, chill for an hour, transfer mixture into a freezer safe container, cover and leave it there until solid or overnight. Before scooping the ice cream take it out of the freezer and wait for about 20-30 minutes. That wat it’s easier to scoop and serve.
If you have an ice cream maker churn the ice cream mixture accordingly to your manufacture’s instructions.
