Rocky Road


The second day of June is National Rocky Road Day. If you own an ice cream freezer you can follow this recipe. Or you could grab a cone at your favorite ice cream shop. Ben and Jerry’s doesn’t carry Rocky Road. But I’m sure pecans and marshmallows would be wonderful stirred into their Chocolate or Fudge Brownie.

1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup cocoa
3 cups cream
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/2 cup chopped pecans (almonds are good, too)
1 cup miniature marshmallows

In a medium saucepan over low heat, cook and stir condensed milk and cocoa until smooth and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat , and allow to cool slightly. Stir in heavy cream, light cream, and vanilla. Cool completely. Pour mixture into the canister of an ice cream maker, and freeze according to directions. Stir in nuts and marshmallows at the end of the freezing process.

  2. It is very decadent. I used my Cuisinart ice cream maker more often for sorbet, sherbet, ice milk and frozen yogurt. I really miss it. They sell a similar model here, but the gel-filled bowl would never fit in my tiny freezer. And it costs nearly £300!
