Description

These Rocky Road Ice Cream Bars are a delightful no-bake treat combining creamy texture with mini marshmallows, crunchy nuts, and rich chocolate chips. Perfect for hot days or any time you crave a sweet and satisfying frozen dessert.


Ingredients

Scale

Ice Cream Base

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix-ins

  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk. Stir gently until fully incorporated, creating a smooth and creamy base.
  2. Add Flavor: Mix in the vanilla extract thoroughly to infuse the base with a warm, sweet aroma and flavor.
  3. Incorporate Mix-ins: Gently fold in the mini marshmallows, chopped nuts, and chocolate chips, ensuring an even distribution without deflating the cream.
  4. Freeze the Mixture: Pour the combined mixture into a prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Cover and place it in the freezer.
  5. Set and Firm Up: Freeze the mixture for at least 6 hours or until it is completely firm and set to bar-like consistency.
  6. Serve: Once frozen solid, cut into bars of your preferred size and serve immediately for a refreshing and indulgent frozen treat.

Notes

  • Use a lined pan with parchment paper for easier removal of bars.
  • You can substitute nuts according to your preference or omit for a nut-free version.
  • Ensure the mix is well chilled before cutting to prevent melting.
  • Store leftover bars in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain freshness.
