Marshmallow Chocolate Almond Ice Cream


Gloriously rich and full of flavor. Marshmallow, chocolate bits and toasted almond make this ice cream one to keep coming back to. 

Marshmallowy Chocolate Almond Ice Cream


Homemade Marshmallows, toasted almonds, and dark chocolate semi-sweet bits.



Notes on this ice cream:

Marshmallows:  This was my first attempt at making homemade marshmallows. It is seriously easy, however, I might have whipped them a bit too long because they became a little to rubbery for my liking. I found myself avoiding them in the ice cream. Next time I will whip them about a minute less, add one less gelatin packet and add a vanilla bean for bursting flavor. Marshmallows were layered in as I packaged the ice cream.  

Chocolate:  I was trying to create more of a chocolate swirl rather than 'bits'. The melted dark chocolate hardened as it hit the ice cream. I should have known this would happen. It's obvious.

Toasted Almonds: I used raw almonds. Toasted them for about 6 minutes. Roughly chopped them and layered them in as I packaged the ice cream.

There are many changes I would make to this particular batch, BUT it was gloriously rich and flavorful. No complaints and give me another scoop!
