Last updated on May 31st, 2023 at 09:48 pm

Homemade ice cream is a real treat, and today I’m sharing one of my favorite flavors. You’re going to love this homemade rocky road ice cream!

When I was a kid, my favorite ice cream flavor was rocky road. I’ve always loved chocolate, but the marshmallows and nuts really sealed the deal!

If you have an ice cream maker, here’s a recipe for rocky road so you can make your own.

Homemade ice cream is so much better than store-bought, and it’s the perfect warm-weather treat. Honestly though, I eat ice cream all-year-round! And, in a sugar cone, there’s nothing better!

I especially love this grown-up version of rocky road made with almonds and sea salt. I know you’ll love this nutty, chocolatey, marshmallowy treat too!

And, if you don’t have an ice cream maker, get one! It’s so much fun to make your own delicious ice cream at home with all of your favorite flavors.
