Hey, what's up guys welcome back today. I'm going to show you how to make one of my favorite ice creams today's recipe is rocky road from scratch
So to get this thing started you're going to grab a small sauce pot add some heavy cream to it some whole milk
Some granulated sugar some egg yolks, and then you're just going to give this a good whisk until everything is completely incorporated
Once that's done. You're going to transfer it to your stovetop
Put it on medium heat, and then you're just going to constantly whisk this just to make sure that the eggs don't overcook
And they scramble because that can tend to happen when you're cooking anything that has
Some sort of egg product in it also halfway through
I'm just going to switch to a wooden spoon just to make sure I get
Every crack and crevice of that pan you're going to bring this up to about 160 degrees Fahrenheit once that's done
You're going to add some dark chocolate and continue mixing until that's completely melted
Once your chocolate ice cream base is ready to go everything's completely mixed and cooked you're going to transfer it to a separate container and strain
It during that process once that's done
It's off to the refrigerator to cool down to a chili 40 degrees Fahrenheit or so
Now just keep in mind the cooler your ice cream base the faster. It will whip up into ice cream
All right, so while that's cooling down in the fridge. We're going to make a simple waffle batter
So grab a small mixing bowl add some all-purpose flour to it followed by some granulated sugar
Some milk some melted butter and some egg whites and you're just going to give this a good whisk for about two to three minutes
Just until it all comes together and you have a very smooth batter
Once that's done
You're going to grab some sort of spoon measuring device or a ladle like I have here pour some
Batter on to parchment paper or a silpat smooth it out into a large round disc
Just think of a waffle cone while you're doing this. So you have some sort of point of reference
with size and shape
Once that's done you're gonna give this a few pats on the counter just to smooth out the batter and then this is gonna go
Into a 400 degree oven for approximately 10 minutes. Once that's done. They should be a beautiful golden brown color
Just pull them out and you have to work quickly because the cookie itself only is pliable when it's hot
So I'm gonna give it a few hash marks just to make it look like a traditional waffle cone
And then I'm gonna roll it around this wooden cone that I picked up at a restaurant supply store
And it will be linked down below in the description box
If you guys are wondering form the shape and just let it cool for a few seconds and then just pull it out and you
Have a beautiful waffle cone
Once the ice cream base is cooled down enough
You're gonna whip out your handy-dandy ice cream machine or a nice little
KitchenAid attachment like I have here and then you're gonna pour your ice cream base into it
Turn it on low speed for the first five minutes just to start the cooling process and then about halfway through
I'm gonna turn it up to about low to medium just to start whipping some air into that dense chocolatey ice cream base
After about 10 to 15 minutes, you should have sort of this pale chocolatey looking ice cream
That's sort of a soft serve texture
You're gonna add some almonds to it some small mini marshmallows
Give it a good mix and then you're gonna throw this into the freezer
To allow it to set up for about two hours
All right
So once everything is ready to go you're gonna grab your ice cream scoop your serving container
And of course the delicious
Rocky Road ice cream out of the freezer and then you're just gonna start scooping away into your serving container
Once you've scooped enough scoops to your liking
Top it off with your delicious waffle cone that you made earlier and all there is to do is enjoy a few scoops of delicious
Rocky Road ice cream that you made yourself
Rocky Road, this looks good. It's already starting to melt. It's kind of hot outside. Love Rocky Road
It's probably my favorite ice cream alongside Jamocha Almond Fudge ice cream, which I'll probably do during ice cream week
So be able to look out for that. But this is just it's a wonderful process making ice cream is so much fun
I definitely recommend you guys trying this recipe out and the future recipes. It'll be posting
I got to taste this before it completely melts. So let me have at it
A little marshmallow bit right there or I gotta have some of this cone
Dabble oh
Yeah
so good
waffle cones
Aren't necessity. I love that the marshmallows in this recipe that when they get really cold
They get nice and chewy and just nice and sticky and delicious. I love that aspect. The almonds are really delicious
I actually recommend you guys toasting them before you actually mix them into the ice cream
It gives a more robust and nutty flavor that I just really enjoy but all in all across the board
It's just a straightforward Rocky Road recipe
