I made this ice cream last week and already we are deciding what will be our next ice cream. "We" as in my ice cream maker and i discuss what the next flavour should be. Ginger ice cream or maybe green tea ice cream. I will see what is available at the time.
Here are some interesting fact about Rocky Road Ice Cream, from Wikipedia.There are variations on the Rocky Road flavour It is traditionally composed of chocolate iceam, nuts and marshmallows. The flavour was created in March 1929 by William Dreyer in Oakland , California when he cut up walnuts and marshmallows and added them to his chocolate ice cream in a manner that reflected his partner Joseph Edy's chocolate candy creation incorporating walnuts and marshmallow pieces. Later, the walnuts would be replaced by pieces of toasted almonds. After the Wall Street Crash of 1929, the company gave the flavour its current name "to give folks something to smile about in the midst of the Great Depression."Alternatively, Fentons Creamery in Oakland claims that William Dreyer based his recipe on a Rocky Road-style ice cream flavour invented by his friend, Fentons' George Farren, who blended his own Rocky Road-style candy bar into ice cream; however, Dreyer substituted almonds for walnuts.
The original Rocky Road ice cream used chocolate ice cream with no chocolate chip pieces.Today, Rocky Road can be obtained based on vanilla ice cream with chocolate chips, marshmallows and almonds.
Ginger or green tea?
