  • Prepare Chocolate Base:
    In a medium saucepan, gently heat the sweetened condensed milk and cocoa powder, stirring constantly until smooth. This step is to blend, not cook. Once smooth, remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • Add Dairy Ingredients:
    Stir in half-and-half, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until well combined. Place the saucepan in the freezer to chill while you prepare the nuts and set up the ice cream maker.
  • Prep Toppings:
    Roughly chop the almonds, aiming for varied sizes for a fun texture. Measure out the mini marshmallows.
  • Set Up Ice Cream Maker:
    Retrieve the pre-frozen ice cream maker bowl and set up the machine. Pour in the chilled chocolate mixture and turn on the machine. Set a timer for 35 minutes.
  • Add Toppings:
    After 35 minutes, add chopped almonds and marshmallows. Let the ice cream churn for another 5 minutes until the mix-ins are fully incorporated.
  • Freeze and Serve:
    Scoop the ice cream into freezer-safe containers. For a firmer texture, freeze for an additional 2 hours before serving. Enjoy in cones or bowls!
