Rocky Road Ice Cream is one of my husband’s all time favorites. It was one of the things he had a difficult time giving up when we went completely organic — that and Cherry Garcia. So, I knew I had to create an Organic Rocky Road Ice Cream so he can enjoy it this summer!
While there are organic ice creams out there, no one has a Rocky Road flavor yet! We love Alec’s Ice Cream, Cosmic Bliss, Straus, and Alden’s — all delicious and totally worth the purchase. But believe it or not, we cannot even buy organic ice cream at our grocery store here in town! Small town problems… So, I order on Azure and try to keep the freezer stocked but sometimes we run out, so I have to make it when our craving hits.
So, I’m sharing this no churn Rocky Road Ice Cream recipe. Not only that is this completely organic, but this no churn Rocky Road Ice Cream is so easy to make that you won’t even want to buy it anymore.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Organic Ingredients: There is no organic Rocky Road Ice Cream in stores, so if you’re conscious about ingredients, this recipe is exactly what you need this summer! I list all the ingredients used so you can make organic Rocky Road Ice Cream at home.
No Churn: This is also a no churn Rocky Road Ice Cream recipe, meaning you don’t need an ice cream maker to make this! Just a stand mixer or hand mixer is all you need.
Rich Chocolate Flavor: Just like the classic, this Organic Rocky Road Ice Cream has a rich chocolate flavor. I use Dutch cocoa powder in the ice cream base and layer ribbons of chocolate ganache throughout.
Creamy Marshmallow: Everyone knows that Rocky Road Ice Cream has a signature marshmallow swirl. I use Toonie Moonie Organic Vanilla Marshmallow Creme which is a beautiful creamy contrast to the chocolate ice cream:
Almonds: We believe almonds are classic in Rocky Road Ice cream, so that’s what I use. But you can easily swap them out for another nut if you prefer.
Ingredients
Heavy Whipping Cream: For no churn ice cream, heavy whipping cream is the base. The fact that it whisks up into whipped cream is what makes this ice cream creamy. I use Organic Valley.
Dutch Cocoa Powder: I prefer organic Dutch cocoa powder as it’s sweeter, perfect for ice cream!
Sweetened Condensed Milk: I use the 365 Organic brand here.
Marshmallow Creme: I use Toonie Moonie Organic Vanilla Marshmallow Creme for the marshmallow swirl.
Chocolate Ganache: My homemade Chocolate Ganache Sauce is used for the chocolate ribbon.
Almonds: For ease, I use organic sliced almonds. But you can also roughly chop whole almonds too!

Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer), add the heavy whipping cream and cocoa powder. Mix on low, to avoid splattering, and then continue to increase speed as the mixture thickens until you’re at full speed. Whisk until stiff peaks form.
Step 2
Add the sweetened condensed milk into the cream mixture and fold to combine completely.
Step 3
Pour a third of the ice cream into an 8-inch cake pan. Drizzle with chocolate ganache, marshmallow creme, and sprinkle with almonds. Using a butter knife, swirl around the add ins.
Step 4
Repeat this again two more times until no more ice cream is left.
Step 5
Transfer to the freezer and allow it to chill overnight. Store in an airtight container in the freezer. (You can also make the ice cream in your airtight container as well).
Tips
- Make the chocolate ganache ahead of time. You can do this right before the ice cream or even days before.
- Use any kind of nuts you like.
- You can leave out the chocolate ganache if you prefer.
- You can layer the ice cream directly into an airtight container. I made mine in a cake pan to photograph it, but I transferred it to an airtight container afterwards.
FAQ’s
Yes, you need some kind of mixer, either a stand mixer or a hand mixer.
Yes, if you prefer you can. Natural cocoa powder is not as sweet as Dutch, so the ice cream may not be as sweet.
Store in an airtight container in the freezer.
