This afternoon, to prepare for our family night treat we make the rocky road ice cream. I used our little cuisinart ice cream freezer, but only used one cup of cream and the rest whole milk (in place of the two cups of cream and 3/4 cups of skim). My husband is the master ice cream maker around here and that is what he does and it has a great flavor and texture still. At the end I stirred in some chopped up jumbo marshmallows, because I didn’t have any of the little guys. They immediately froze and became crispy. I don’t know if minis would have done that. I have seen the little cans of tiny ones that you can shake into your hot chocolate at the store and I think they would be a good size. Anyway, not sure what to do about the marshmallow problem, but its not terrible and the ice cream has a delicious flavor. The kids and I topped ours with the toasted pecans since Sterling doesn’t generally care for nuts and Sam can’t really chew them very good yet. Overall this is a very tasty recipe and I would definitely make it again. I liked that you didn’t have to cook it and just had to mix the ingredients together.

That looks like some mighty good ice cream. I am going to make this tonight so I appreciated your comment about the marshmallows. Hmmm I wonder how Eddy's (Dreyers) keeps theirs so soft?
