Rocky Road Ice Cream with Coconut Milk Tips
Mix-ins are usually added right at the end of the ice cream freezing process. Adding them too early to your machine may cause it to bind up early and not properly chill your ice cream.
This recipe makes a dark chocolate ice cream, if you want it to be more like milk chocolate, use a little less cocoa (1.5 ounces) or add more sugar (1-2 more ounces).
