- Marshmallows: Mini marshmallows throughout add extra sweetness and a chewy texture.
- Chocolate: Choose semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips or chunks for a rich flavor.
- Cocoa: Using Dutch-processed cocoa powder ensures a deep natural flavor and rich color.
- Vanilla: Vanilla extract round gives the ice cream base a richer flavor. You can use vanilla essence if needed.
Variations
- Cocoa cups: Add the ice cream mixture into freezer-proof cups to create single-serve frozen cocoa cups. Add extra whipped cream, cocoa, and mini marshmallows on top of the ice cream cups.
- Rocky Road: Add chopped almonds or your choice of nuts to introduce a crunchy texture and nutty flavor. Crunched-up Oreos or chocolate chip cookies would make a great addition too.
- Marshmallow swirl: Instead of mixing in the marshmallows, you can swirl in store-bought or homemade marshmallow fluff.
- Ice cream loaf cake: Line the load pan with plastic wrap to create an ice cream cake. Cut into slices and serve with chocolate sauce and extra marshmallows.
