Baskin Robbins Rocky Road Ice Cream Ingredients

• Heavy cream – Rich cream that creates a smooth, creamy texture.
• Whole milk – Adds body and balances the ice cream flavor.
• Granulated sugar – Sweetens the ice cream naturally and evenly.
• Unsweetened cocoa powder – Provides deep, chocolatey flavor and color.
• Vanilla extract – Enhances overall flavor with warm, aromatic notes.
• Mini marshmallows – Soft, sweet bites for classic Rocky Road texture.
• Almonds, chopped – Crunchy nuts add texture and nutty flavor.
• Semi-sweet chocolate chunks – Melty, rich chocolate for indulgent mix-ins.

How To Make Ninja Creami Rocky Road Ice Cream

Step One: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.

Step Two: Pour the chocolate base into a Ninja Creami pint container, leaving some space at the top for expansion. Freeze for at least 24 hours until completely solid.

Step Three: Once frozen, remove the container from the freezer. Use the Ninja Creami to process the base according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Once creamy, add mini marshmallows, chopped almonds, and semi-sweet chocolate chunks.

Step Four: Process the container again using the “Mix-In” function on your Ninja Creami to evenly incorporate the marshmallows, almonds, and chocolate chunks into the ice cream. Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy immediately, or refreeze for a firmer texture.

Ninja Creami Copycat Baskin Robbins Rocky Road Ice Cream Recipe Tips

• Freeze the base completely: Make sure the ice cream base is fully frozen for at least 24 hours to achieve the perfect creamy texture.
• Use room-temperature mix-ins sparingly: Adding marshmallows, almonds, and chocolate chunks directly from the fridge helps them incorporate evenly without melting the ice cream.
• Chop nuts and chocolate small: Smaller pieces distribute better throughout the ice cream, giving a consistent Rocky Road experience in every bite.
• Re-spin if needed: If the ice cream is too icy after the first spin, use the “Re-spin” function to make it smoother and creamier.
• Customize sweetness: Taste the base before freezing; adjust sugar or cocoa powder to your preference for richer chocolate flavor.
• Serve immediately or store properly: Enjoy right away for soft-serve texture or refreeze for a firmer scoopable consistency.
• Get creative with mix-ins: Try adding mini chocolate chips, pecans, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for a fun twist on classic Rocky Road.

Storing Instructions

Store leftover Ninja Creami Rocky Road Ice Cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping for easier serving.

Ninja Creami Copycat Baskin Robbins Rocky Road Ice Cream Recipe Faqs

Can I make this ice cream without a Ninja Creami? Yes! You can make the base in a freezer-safe container and stir in the mix-ins by hand every 30–60 minutes until creamy, though the texture may be slightly different.

Can I use different nuts? Absolutely. Pecans, walnuts, or even peanuts work well in place of almonds for a unique twist on classic Rocky Road.

Can I make this dairy-free or vegan? Yes! Substitute heavy cream and milk with full-fat coconut milk or another plant-based milk, and use dairy-free chocolate for a vegan-friendly version.

How long should I freeze the base before processing? Freeze the base for at least 24 hours to ensure it’s solid enough for the Ninja Creami to achieve a smooth, creamy texture.

Can I add extra chocolate or mix-ins? Yes! Feel free to increase the amount of chocolate chunks, marshmallows, or nuts according to your taste preferences.

Can I make mini servings for kids? Definitely! Use small cups or silicone molds to portion the ice cream for kids’ treats or party favors.
