Rocky Road Ice Cream Recipe (no machine required!) (2024)

I eat way too much ice cream, but when it is as easy as this recipe, there is no reason not to. You don’t even need an ice cream maker to enjoy this tasty treat.

It comes together in a flash, and tastes absolutely amazing. I am a huge ice cream fan, but I don’t always love bringing out the ice cream maker, to make my own.

This recipe requires no ice cream maker or machine, so it is perfect. We love this Rocky Road Ice Cream the best. It is so simple and so delicious.

It only requires a few simple ingredients, and it is so fast to throw together.

What could I use in place of cocoa powder?

For this recipe, we highly recommend using cocoa powder, just because it is pretty thick, and will give it the best chocolatey taste.

However, if you don’t have any on hand, I am sure this recipe would work just as well using hot chocolate mix, or a chocolate drink mix, such as Nestle. We do recommend cocoa powder, because it will give it that rich chocolate flavor, but these drink mixes could potentially work, they just won’t have as strong of a chocolate flavor.
