Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, cook and stir condensed milk and cocoa until smooth and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Whisk in heavy cream, milk, and vanilla.
  3. Refrigerate until cold.
  4. Pour mixture into the canister of an ice cream maker, and freeze according to manufacturer’s directions. Stir in nuts, chocolate chips and marshmallows halfway through the freezing process.

Notes

  • Makes about 1 ½ quarts.
  • If you don’t like peanuts or have a peanut allergy, try using ½ cup of chopped walnuts or almonds instead.
  • If you want a classic chocolate ice cream, churn the base and omit the mix-ins.
  • I recommend using a 2-quart ice cream maker to churn this recipe. If you have a smaller ice cream maker, you may need to churn the ice cream in batches.
  • Churning time may vary based on your ice cream maker.
