A Better Rocky Road: Vegan, Gluten‑Free, and Ninja Creami‑Ready
A rich, chocolatey Rocky Road ice cream made in the Ninja Creami, fully vegan and gluten free. This version keeps the classic marshmallow‑and‑chocolate charm but skips the raisins, focusing on smooth texture and crunchy mix‑ins. Easy to freeze, blend, and enjoy as a decadent dairy‑free treat.
Equipment
- Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker
Ingredients
Ice Cream
- 125 ml Coconut Cream (full‑fat, not coconut milk)
- 250 ml Almond Milk (or any other vegan milk alternative)
- 2 Bananas (chop into slices to make it easier for the Ninja Creami to mix)
- 3 tbsp Pistachio Butter (alternatives include: cashew butter, peanut butter, almond butter)
- 3-5 Large Gluten Free Vegan Marshmallows (depending on how large the marshmallows are, and how much room you have left in the pint - no spill over)
- 2-3 tbsp Cocoa Powder (depends on how chocolatey you want it)
Mix-Ins
- 3 Gluten Free Vegan Digestive Biscuits (lightly crushed into pieces)
- 15 g Gluten Free Vegan Mini Marshmallows (You may want to add less of this, I just really love them)
Instructions
Prepping the Mix for Freezing
- Chop the 2 bananas into slices and add them to the Ninja Creami Pint
- Then add the pistachio butter, followed by the coconut cream and almond milk
- Next, add the cocoa powder and give the contents of the pint a quick mix to ensure the cocoa powder (& pistachio butter) is evenly distributed throughout
- Finally, add in the 3-5 large marshmallows (make sure to squeeze them in)
- Freeze overnight (24hrs)
Making the Ice Cream (the fun part😉)
- Take the pint of ice cream out of the freezer and leave out for 5-10 minutes (this will make it easier for the Ninja Creami to mix the ice cream)
- Assemble the Ninja Creami blade and turn on the Ninja Creami to the setting Lite Ice Cream (4 minutes)
- Then add in your mini-marshmallow and crushed digestive biscuit (gluten free and vegan for both, obviously) to the pint of ice cream and press the mix-in setting (2 minutes)
- Voila! Enjoy your gluten free vegan Rocky Road Ice Cream - the best bit!❤️😊
