Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of heavy whipping cream, 1 cup of whole milk, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and ⅔ cup of Dutch process cocoa powder. Heat this mixture over medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer at 170°F (77°C), stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- While the dairy mixture is heating, crack 6 large egg yolks into a mixing bowl and whisk them with ½ cup of the remaining sugar until the mixture becomes pale and slightly fluffy.
- Once the dairy mixture reaches a simmer, carefully ladle a bit of the warm liquid into the egg yolk mixture while whisking continuously. Gradually add more warm dairy into the yolks, whisking constantly until combined.
- Return the tempered yolk mixture back to the saucepan with the remaining dairy. Stir gently over medium heat until the mixture warms up again, reaching 170°F (77°C). Continuously stir for about 5-7 minutes until the custard thickens slightly.
- Add 4 ounces of finely chopped dark chocolate and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to the warm custard mixture. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Cover the bowl of chocolate custard with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
- Once chilled, pour the custard into an ice cream machine and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve texture.
- When your chocolate custard reaches the soft-serve stage, gently fold in 1 cup of mini marshmallows, 1 cup of salted roasted almonds, and 4 ounces of finely chopped semi-sweet chocolate.
- Transfer your Rocky Road Ice Cream into an airtight container, smoothing the top with a spatula. Seal it tightly and allow it to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.

Notes
Ensure to chill the custard for at least 8 hours to enhance flavor and achieve a creamy base. Use high-quality chocolate for better taste.
