No-Churn Rocky Road Ice Cream (over waffles!)

I'm finally done with the kidneys!! Gosh, they are just 2 small little beans, but they are so complex. Ugh, worst organ ever to study for. Up next is the brain... I still have no idea what I want to do yet after med school. All I have been doing is eliminating fields I could never see myself in. Like pediatrics (I just don't mesh with kids), dermatology (don't ever let me touch that oozing lesion on your skin) or cardiology... can barely hear my own heart beat with my stethoscope ;). Learning each organ and body part makes me dislike them even more. Can't wait until I never have to study again... oh wait, studying is mah lyfe foreverrrr :(((((

Anyway, making no-churn ice cream has been on my bucket list for ages! I can't believe how easy and delicious you can make ice cream without an ice cream maker. I had about 10 different ice cream machine models saved on my Amazon account, because I was thinking of buying one and making ice cream all day everyday. But, now I can save even more $$$ and make delicious ice cream all day everyday!! I have so many ideas and ice cream things to do and I'm so excited I'm going to burst :D (sorry, a little hyper because I had ice cream for dinner :P)
