Description

A rich and creamy Rocky Road Ice Cream Without Nuts made with chocolate, marshmallows, and crunchy nut-free mix-ins. Easy to make, no-churn, and perfect for allergy-friendly treats.


Ingredients

Scale

2 cups heavy cream (or oat/soy cream for dairy-free)

1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (use vegan condensed milk if needed)

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup mini marshmallows (check for gelatin-free or vegan)

3/4 cup crushed gluten-free graham crackers (or safe cookies)

1/2 cup nut-free chocolate chunks (vegan if needed)


Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix together the condensed milk, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture using a spatula.
  4. Stir in the mini marshmallows, crushed graham crackers, and chocolate chunks until evenly distributed.
  5. Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container and smooth the top.
  6. Cover with foil or parchment and freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
  7. Let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure your cream is cold before whipping it helps it thicken faster.
  • For a dairy-free version, use full-fat oat or soy cream and vegan condensed milk.
  • Use vegan marshmallows if avoiding gelatin.
  • Crushed pretzels or puffed rice cereal are great nut-free substitutes for extra crunch.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks; best texture is within 7–10 days.
  • Let the ice cream sit at room temp for a few minutes before scooping for a softer texture.
