Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 packages of hot chocolate mix about ⅓ cup
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 ¼ cup mini marshmallows

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, vanilla, and hot chocolate mix. Use an electric hand mixer to whip the cream into stiff, free-standing peaks.
  • Once the cream begins to form stiff peaks, add the sweetened condensed milk and mini marshmallows. Use a large spoon or spatula to fold the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
  • Transfer the ice cream mixture to a 9x5 inch loaf pan or glass dish and cover with plastic wrap. Allow the ice cream to freeze for 6 hours.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

If you have access to the small jet puff marshmallow bits, they make a great topping on this ice cream.
We used 3 hot chocolate packets for this recipe, which comes out to about ⅓ cup of mix. For a richer chocolate flavor you can use an extra packet or use about ½ cup of hot cocoa mix.
You can store this ice cream in the loaf pan or in an airtight container for about 2 months in the freezer.
If you want a richer chocolate flavor, try using dark hot chocolate mix or add a cup of mini chocolate chips to your ice cream mixture.
Mini marshmallows are easier to distribute evenly throughout the ice cream. It is also important to note that the marshmallow will not freeze solid.
