Rocky Road Ice Cream
My kids go crazy for this fantastic flavor—marshmallows, peanuts, dark chocolate chips…what’s not to love?
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ cup light coconut milk beverage, or any preferred milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- ¼ cup semi sweet or dark chocolate chips*
- ¼ cup mini marshmallows**
- ¼ cup roasted peanuts
- 1 to 2 tablespoons sugar, optional
Instructions
- Peel and cut the bananas into 1-inch rounds. Place the bananas in a freezer bag and freeze them for at least 3 hours.
- Right before you’re ready to make the ice cream, whisk together the cocoa powder, coconut milk, and vanilla in a small bowl.
- If your banana slices have been in the freezer for longer than a day, it’s best to let them thaw in the food processor bowl for about 15 minutes. Place the frozen bananas, chocolate mix, and salt in a food processor and blend well, stopping to scrape down the sides often to get a smooth, even consistency.
- Taste and add the optional sugar, if you’d like it sweeter. Transfer into bowl, then mix in marshmallows, peanuts, and chocolate chips.
- Scoop the ice cream into small bowls and serve immediately or cover in plastic wrap and freeze. If you’re saving the ice cream for a later time, remove the bowls from the freezer about 5 minutes to slightly thaw before serving the treat.
