Ingredients

  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1½ cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup sliced almonds
  • 1 cup miniature marshmallows

Steps

  1. Whisk together the sugar, cocoa, and salt in a medium-size saucepan. Add the cream and milk, stir, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat while stirring frequently. Lower the heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
  2. Remove from the heat and add the chocolate chips, vanilla, and almond extract. Stir to dissolve the chocolate. Let cool and then refrigerate for at least 6 hours, until cold.
  3. Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream machine and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  4. When it has finished churning, transfer to a freezer-safe airtight container, add the marshmallows and almonds and stir to combine. Cover and freeze until ready to serve. Enjoy!
