Rocky Road Ice Cream

This recipe is all about second chances. You see, it was supposed to be a mousse. So I mixed, chilled, and tasted. And it was....eh. Okay, but not up to the standards of Easy Peasy. Rather than feel like I wasted the rest of the batch, I thought I would see if freezing it improved anything. (insert harp music)**RECIPE REDEMPTION!**(end harp music) Turns out that, frozen, this makes a delicious Rocky Road Ice Cream! Without any churning or anything! (Note: the picture is of the mousse, the ice cream actually scoops just like store bought ice cream. Also, I used white chocolate pudding, so mine is white instead of the standard chocolate brown.)


1 package chocolate instant pudding mix
1 cup milk
1 container Cool Whip, thawed
1/2 cup chopped toasted almonds
2 cup miniature marshmallows
12 Oreos, crunched but not pulverized (you want chunks, not dust)

Whisk pudding mix and milk together for 2 minutes. Gently stir in Cool Whip. Fold in marshmallows, nuts,and cookies. Pour into an airtight container and freeze several hours or overnight. Scoop and serve.
Yield: approx 6 1-cup servings
