Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt over medium heat.

Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20 to 25 minutes.

Five minutes before the churning is completed, add the mini marshmallows and semi-sweet chocolate chips to incorporate them into the ice cream.
Step 7
Transfer the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
