Get ready for the best Rocky Road Ice Cream! This super creamy no-churn chocolate ice cream is loaded with chopped nuts, mini marshmallows, and chocolate chips. No ice cream maker is needed. Assemble, place in your freezer, and dive in to this incredible frozen treat.
Here’s the thing. If I’m going to take the time to make ice cream from scratch, then it better be worlds better than the store bought stuff. Store bought ice cream is pretty dang good (truth: I basically never leave the store without a container of Tillamook ice cream), BUT, I always find that it comes up short on the “mix-ins”. I want a lot of mix-ins in my ice cream. A LOT. In every single bite. So, here’s my version of rocky road, with so many nuts, marshmallows, and chocolate chips mixed throughout that you’ll never want store bought rocky road again.

What is “no churn” ice cream?
No-churn ice cream is ice cream that can be made without an ice cream maker. A typical no-churn ice cream recipe uses a combination of sweetened condensed milk and heavy cream that has been whipped to stiff peaks. The sweetness from the sweetened condensed milk and the fluffy quality of the whipped cream combine to make ice cream with an unbelievable smooth and creamy texture.
This specific no-churn recipe also uses cocoa powder and melted chocolate chips to make a chocolate flavored no-churn ice cream.

Recipe overview
No churn chocolate ice cream: This no-churn chocolate ice cream base is flavored with melted chocolate, cocoa powder, and a touch of vanilla. No ice cream maker is needed; you simply combine the ice cream base, add the mix ins and place it in your freezer. You’ll need the following ingredients for the chocolate ice cream: sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, cocoa powder, vanilla, salt, and heavy cream.
Mix-ins (a lot of them): I add tons of roasted almonds, mini marshmallows, and mini chocolate chips to this rocky road.
Prep time: Allow yourself about 10-15 minutes of prep time. This recipe comes together quickly and easily.
Freeze time: The hardest part? Waiting for the ice cream to freeze. I like to give this ice cream at least 6 hours to freeze. Since this is a no-churn recipe you just place it in the freezer instead of in an ice cream machine.
