This Homemade Rocky Road Ice Cream is creamy chocolate and almond flavored ice cream loaded with chewy marshmallows, crunchy almonds, and flecks of chocolate. Ice cream is the perfect way to celebrate nearing the end of summer. (For those of us living in the desert, the end of summer is a serious reason to celebrate!) And as you already know, I can never have enough ice cream in my life.
