Description

This Dairy Free Rocky Road Ice Cream is a creamy and delicious vegan dessert made with oat milk, a heavy cream alternative, cocoa powder, and studded with mini marshmallows and chopped almonds. Perfect for those avoiding dairy but craving the classic rocky road flavor in an easy no-churn recipe.

Ingredients

Ice Cream Base

  • 2 cups Heavy Cream Alternative, cold
  • 1 can Sweetened Condensed Oat Milk
  • 2/3 cup Cocoa Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon Flaky Sea Salt

Mix-Ins

  • 1 cup Mini Marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup Almonds, chopped or sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chocolate Mixture: In a small mixing bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed oat milk, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and flaky sea salt until fully combined and smooth.
  2. Whip Heavy Cream Alternative: Using a stand mixer or hand mixer with whisk attachments, beat the cold heavy cream alternative on high speed for about 2 minutes until it becomes light and fluffy, resembling whipped cream.
  3. Combine Mixtures: Pour the chocolate oat milk mixture into the whipped cream and continue mixing for another minute to ensure the chocolate is evenly distributed throughout the cream.
  4. Fold in Add-ins: Gently fold in the mini marshmallows and chopped almonds using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly spread without deflating the mixture.
  5. Freeze: Transfer the combined mixture into a freezer-safe container. Cover and freeze for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight, until fully set and firm.
  6. Serve: Scoop the frozen dairy-free rocky road ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy immediately once fully frozen.

Notes

  • Be sure the heavy cream alternative is cold to whip properly.
  • If mini marshmallows are not dairy-free, ensure to use vegan-friendly marshmallows.
  • You can substitute almonds with other nuts like walnuts or pecans if preferred.
  • For softer ice cream, let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping.
  • Store leftover ice cream in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn.
