Yesterday I made Rocky Road ice cream for my husband, Jim, in honor of his mother, Nonni. Rocky Road ice cream was Nonni’s favorite ice cream.
Rocky Road ice cream is a classic flavor beloved by many. It’s easy to understand why – this combination of creamy chocolate, crunchy walnuts, and sweet mini marshmallows makes for a delicious treat!
The contrasting textures of Rocky Road ice cream make it an exciting experience. The smoothness of the chocolate complements the crunchiness of the walnuts, while the mini marshmallows offer just enough sugary sweetness that doesn’t overpower the other flavors. This creates a balanced dessert that appeals to a variety of people.
In addition to its exquisite taste, Rocky Road ice cream is incredibly versatile. It can be enjoyed as part of a sundae or banana split, eaten on its own in scoop form, or even used as a topping to add some extra sweetness. It’s also a great way to veganize a dessert – switch out the dairy-based ice cream for your favorite vegan variety, and you’re all set!
The sheer variety of Rocky Road ice cream options, makes it an ever-popular choice. Whether you prefer classic chocolate with walnuts and marshmallows, or something more adventurous like a strawberry rocky road with white chocolate chips, there’s no denying this flavor always hits the spot.
No matter what kind of Rocky Road ice cream you choose, its popularity is undeniable. With its unique combination of flavors and textures, it’s easy to understand why so many people love this frozen treat – it’s simply delicious!
I found this Rocky Road ice cream recipe in the cookbook, “My Stand Mixer Ice Cream Maker Attachment Cookbook,” by Lily Charles.

Ingredients:
- 1 cup of unsweetened dark cocoa powder
- 1 cup of white sugar
- 1 1/4 cups of whole milk
- 3 cups of heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon of pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup of chopped walnuts
- 1 cup of mini marshmallows
Instructions:
- Combine the cocoa and sugar using your stand mixer in a mixing bowl, and stir until evenly combined. Add the whole milk, and mix until the cocoa and sugar are fully dissolved.
- Stir in the vanilla extract in the heavy cream. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly blended. Place the mixture in the refrigerator for one to two hours.
- Take the ice cream freezer bowl out of the freezer and set it up on your stand mixer.
- Pour the Rocky Road ice cream mixture into the ice cream maker attachment bowl.
- Set the stand mixer’s speed to “Stir” mode.
- After approximately 20 minutes (in the last five minutes of the freezing), pour the chopped walnuts and the mini marshmallows into the freezer bowl to let mix completely.
- After approximately 25 to 30 minutes (total), the mixture will have frozen to a thick creamy, soft-serve consistency, with every chocolatey scoop packed with marshmallows and walnuts! Serve directly from the ice cream freezer bowl into bowls or cones and enjoy
- For a more hard-frozen consistency, transfer the mixture from the freezer bowl into an airtight container and keep it in the freezer for at least two more hours.
