Toasted Marshmallow Milkshake

September 25, 2018 by Joy the Baker 12 Comments

Jump to Recipe

I bought my dad a milkshake yesterday.  Strawberry – a solid choice though I remember him ordering Pineapple Malts when I was a kid which tipped me off early to his playful food genius.  It’s pretty sweet sharing a milkshake with Dad, any flavor, any age.  

The offering today is a milkshake – roasty, toasty, and sweet.  And while we’re past the summer days (someone tell that to the heat and humidity in New Orleans), and while we’re starting to fluff our sweaters and think about roasting our vegetables – the invitation is to subvert all that a make ourselves a small toasty milkshake. 

I published this recipe years and years ago on my blog. 2010… so a very chill 8 years ago. It’s so good it’s worth a reminder because ICE CREAM and MARSHMALLOWS. 

Start by toasting marshmallows – a worthy pastime – standing over a gas stove with a skewer and a stack of fluffy marshmallows.  Toast to burnt. It’s the burnt sugar that makes the toasted marshmallow milkshake taste like toasted marshmallows. Now is no time for a golden toast.  Flame is what we’re going for. 

Blend toasted marshmallows with scoops of vanilla ice cream and a big splash of whole milk.  Coconut milk ice cream and coconut milk is also delicious.  Any way you milk and cream it is a step in the right direction.  It’s indulgent and comforting and almost as good as a pineapple malt.

Toasted Marshmallow Milkshake

Ingredients

Scale
  • This recipe makes one large or two small milkshakes
  • 8–10 large marshmallows
  • 3 large scoops vanilla ice cream or a heaping 1-cup of vanilla ice cream
  • 1/2 cup of milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Place marshmallows on skewer and toast until slightly charred over a gas flame. If you don’t have skewers or a gas range, you can toast the marshmallows on a sheet tray in the broiler for 2 or 3 minutes. Keep an eye on the marshmallows as they’re in the oven. They’re liable to burst into marshmallow flames pretty quick. Place on a plate to cool slightly.
  2. In a blender mix together ice cream, milk, vanilla extract and toasted marshmallows. Save one or two toasted marshmallows to top the milkshake(s). Blend well. For a thinner milkshake add more milk. If you’d like it a bit thicker… add more ice cream. Pour into glasses and top with toasted marshmallows. Enjoy on the quick.

    I remember when you published this recipe!! I can’t believe it has been so long. I always meant to make it, but never have. Now is the time, I suppose! :) <3

    Hi Joy, adding a spoonful of sour cream sets this over the top. It’s been the secret to my toasted marshmallow shake for years. Maybe I should pull out my blender, wrap a cozy blanket a little tighter and succumb to documentary marathon this weekend. :)

    Hi Joy! I made these for a friend sometime after you originally posted it and he still talks about them nearly every time we see him! Thank you for the reminder, because these need to be a part of our lives again very soon. Also, your dad is indeed a genius with the pineapple malt…that is going on my list to make as well.

    This looks amazing! I am so in sweater fluffing mode — I will need to treat myself to one of these while I do it. Love that it’s a fall treat that’s still nice and cool for when the weather isn’t cooperating with all of your fall schemes. Thanks, Joy!

    Joy! This comment is a bit random, but I just wanted to say thank you. I’s midnight in Australia, and I’m studying for my final exams. I’m originally from Toronto, Canada and often feel homesick especially when exams come around. Your Sunday posts, and blog in general always give me something wonderful to look forward to (I also have all your books!) Even if I can’t make a recipe just then, just reading how you made it, and looking at the pictures reminds me that the world is still a joyful (no pun intended) and magical place! So, I’ll be definitely be making this recipe this week, and sharing the goods with my friends who certainly also need a hit of magic-sugary-goodness!

    Add some crushed up graham cracker and a drizzle of chocolate syrup to the top and it will smell like a S’more! A Fall Favorite!
