Rocky Road Ice Cream

Ingredients
  

  • ICE CREAM
  • 5 egg yolks
  • 1 cup Allulose
  • 1 cup organic heavy whipping cream IF DAIRY FREE: coconut milk
  • 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 vanilla bean scraped clean from pod or 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp Redmond Real salt keeps ice cream soft
  • ROCKY ROAD ADDITIONS:
  • 1/2 cup "healthified" marshmallow cut into 1 cm pieces
  • 1/2 cup Pecans/Walnuts/Macadamia Nuts
  • 1/2 cup "healthified" Chocolate cut into 1 cm pieces

Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan place the egg yolks and natural sweeteners in to mix on high with a hand mixer. Whip yolks until light in color and double in size.
  • Stir in the whipping cream.
  • Place the saucepan onto medium heat on the stove and cook, stirring constantly (I used my hand mixer). Stir until thickened into a custard. Remove from heat and stir in the almond milk, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt.
  • Let cool completely (I cooled overnight...it was hard to wait!).
  • NOTE: I have skipped the cooking of the egg yolks into a custard for the ice cream (since I didn't want to wait for it to cool down) and it still works great, but you will have raw eggs in the recipe.
  • Place into your ice cream machine and watch the magic happen within 45 or according to your ice cream maker's directions.
  • Stir in chunks of "healthified" marshmallows, nuts and chocolate. Freeze until set. Makes 5 servings.
