Ingredients
Scale
1/2 c nondairy milk
1/4 c cocoa powder
1 13.5 oz can full fat coconut milk
1/2 c agave nectar
1 tbsp canola oil
2 tsp Kahlúa
1 tsp vanila extract
1/4 tsp guar gum
pinch of salt
1/2 c vegan mini marshmallows
1/3 c roasted and salted almonds, chopped
1/3 c dark chocolate, chopped
Instructions
- Preparing the Ice Cream Base: In a small bowl, whisk together the nondairy milk and cocoa powder until they are well combined and the cocoa powder is fully dissolved. In a blender, combine the full-fat coconut milk, agave nectar, canola oil, Kahlúa, vanilla extract, guar gum and salt. Add the cocoa mixture to a blender or food processor and blend everything together until you have a smooth and creamy ice cream base. Transfer mixture to a sealable container and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours.
- Churning the Ice Cream: Pour the ice cream base into an ice cream maker and churn it according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes around 20-25 minutes until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency. Please keep in mind that some models require you to freeze the bowl of the machine for 8 hours prior to use. Read your ice cream maker’s instructions carefully.
- Adding the Mix-Ins: Once the ice cream is done churning, transfer it to a lidded, freezer-safe container. Gently fold in the vegan mini marshmallows, chopped almonds, and chopped dark chocolate. Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the ice cream.
- Freezing the Ice Cream: Smooth the top of the ice cream with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Spread a sheet of plastic wrap over the top of the ice cream. Press down so that the plastic is actually touching it. Place the lid on the container and freeze the ice cream for at least 6-8 hours, or until it is firm and scoopable. Scoop the vegan Rocky Road ice cream into bowls or cones. You can garnish the ice cream with additional vegan mini marshmallows, chopped almonds, or melted chocolate if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
*Prepared ice cream will keep in a tightly-sealed container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
