Happy National Chocoalate Ice Cream Day!
Is it just me or do the ingredient lists keep getting longer on our favorite ice cream brands? It’s pretty hard to even find good quality ice cream anywhere unless you either, have a small local ice cream parlor that makes it fresh daily, or you make it at home. I'd say the best I ever found locally in Chile was from a small shop that only opens during the summer when all of the tourists are there.
Oh and speaking of summer crowds, that reminds me, the food truck craze is getting more and more popular. My sisters and I had tons of fun just browsing by all of them last summer when we would go biking, and there was a surprisingly large variety of them too. Some friends of mine keep telling me that I need to have a food truck and I absolutely love the idea, but it’s kind of just a pipe dream at this point. I’ve been contemplating it though. How cool would ‘Gringalicious’ look plastered in bold letters across a big truck!
But summer and food trucks aside, we’re all here for this ice cream. In my school days of eating ice cream all the time, my favorite flavor was rocky road. Not just any rocky road though, it had to be a specific brand. You see, I’m not a huge fan of actual marshmallows in it, the one I loved had chocolate covered almonds and this creamy marshmallow swirl instead that was way better so that's how I did this.
I also made it a no-churn version because, first of all, I’ve been on a no-churn kick lately and, secondly, my ice cream maker is stupid and I never seem to remember to put it in the freezer until it’s too late. You know, besides who needs an ice cream maker when you can have great ice cream without one?
So this is probably my favorite no-churn ice cream ever and that’s mostly due to the marshmallow swirl in it. It may seem complicated but it’s really very easy once you try it and I know you guys can do it, but if you’d prefer to do mini marshmallows then feel free. Have fun with it. It’s so much more enjoyable to eat ice cream when you’ve put extra love into it and you can make it your own.

I Love and Hate your Posts. Your Pics look incredibly Awesome and Delicious, and I hate because I want to try what you post but Can't :( LOL. btw I think you should make one post dedicated just to the Dole Whip Treat at Disney. Many fans will appreciate it for sure.
You know, you're not the first to tell me about your love / hate relationship. LOL
And, you're not the first to tell me about the Dole Whip. I think you have a valid point there and I will definitely add it to my TO DO list. Thanks so much for the inspiration @mauriciovite

Yes, yummy pics are the best aren't they? Thanks @avilsd, that's so nice of you.
I love your photography skills! Are you self taught or went to a school/classes?
Self taught. My Dad provided the equipment, I provided the will power to learn, perfect match. Thanks so much for the compliment and taking the time to comment @emelyeucebio

Oh my mouth is watering now! The trouble with ice-cream is I can't stop eating it until it's all gone. I could easily make my way through all the ice-creams in your post :-)
Oh, I totally know how you feel because it can be very addictive but that's why I feel a bit better making it from my own ingredients. Thank you so much for commenting @gmuxx!
I have never tried making my own. My waistline probably wouldn't thank me...
Man, @gringalicious! You've got the food market here cornered! Your posts are incredible.
Thank you so, so much. It's so nice of you to think that @kommienezuspadt
