Rocky Road Ice Cream Sundae
You know, I don’t think I’ve ever actually come across anyone who doesn’t like Rocky Road. The mix of Nuts, Marshmallow, Turkish delight and Chocolate make for a treat that’s hard to resist. With all that’s good about the Rocky Road flavour combination and following on from our visit to the Bundaberg Rum Distillery where we found their Royal Liqueur we decided to try and adapt the concept and make an almost intoxicating Rocky Road Ice Cream Sundae.
