Rocky Road Ice Cream is a timeless favorite, but I wanted to put my own spin on this beloved chocolate, nut, and marshmallow combination. Traditionally, rocky road is made with dark chocolate ice cream and mini marshmallows, but my version takes a creamier, smoother approach by using a rich milk chocolate base and swirls of luscious marshmallow cream instead of mini marshmallows. This allows for a more velvety texture, with pillowy ribbons of marshmallow melting perfectly into every bite.
The name "Rocky" Road has a special meaning for us as Coloradans—we see the majestic Rocky Mountains in the distance every day, and this ice cream is a tribute to our home and its natural beauty. Our spelling is unique, just like our recipe, which balances the boldness of chocolate with the crunch of toasted almonds and the creamy sweetness of marshmallow. Every scoop delivers the perfect harmony of flavors and textures, making it a nostalgic yet innovative take on a true classic. Whether enjoyed in a cone, a bowl, or topped with extra chocolate drizzle, this Rocky Road Ice Cream is a rich, comforting, and Colorado-inspired treat that chocolate lovers won’t be able to resist!
