• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup vegan dark chocolate, chopped
• 1/2 cup toasted almonds, chopped

2. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually 25-30 minutes.
3. During the last few minutes of churning, add the chopped dark chocolate, toasted almonds, and vegan marshmallows, allowing them to mix evenly into the ice cream.

5. Cover the container and freeze the ice cream for at least 4-6 hours, or until firm.
6. When ready to serve, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before scooping into bowls or cones.
