Yum Alert: Toasted Marshmallow Milkshake

Written by Ashley

A retro treat!

This is so old school.  50’s soda shop, poodle skirt, 2 straws 1 milkshake kind of old school. Plus, who doesn’t love roasting marshmallows?!?!

Toasted Marshmallow Milkshake

from Joy the Baker

makes two small or one large milkshake

  • 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

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.

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.
