What You’ll Need for Your S’mores Milkshake

2 heaped scoops vanilla ice cream (use your favorite brand or dairy-free alternative)
1 cup (8floz/230g) milk (whole or low-fat, or substitute with almond or oat milk)
1/4 cup (1/2oz/15g) marshmallows, toasted (use a kitchen torch or broiler for toasting)
1/4 cup (3/4oz/22g) graham cracker cookies (crushed for rim and blending)
Chocolate sauce for drizzling (store-bought or homemade)
Honey for drizzling (optional, substitute with agave syrup)

How to Make Your S’mores Milkshake

Blend the base: In a blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, milk, and toasted marshmallows. Blend for 2-3 minutes until smooth and evenly combined.
Prepare the glasses: Drizzle honey along the outer rim of 2 chilled glasses. Dip the rims into crushed graham crackers to coat evenly.
Add the chocolate: Fill the very bottom of each glass with a generous drizzle of chocolate sauce.
Pour and top: Pour the blended milkshake into the prepared glasses. Top with whipped cream and additional toasted marshmallows for extra indulgence.
Serve immediately: Enjoy your S’mores Milkshake right away for the best taste and texture!

Creative Topping and Sauce Ideas

Elevate your S’mores Milkshake with fun toppings! Try adding a sprinkle of sea salt over the chocolate drizzle for a sweet-and-salty twist. For extra indulgence, swap the chocolate sauce for melted dark chocolate or caramel. A dusting of cocoa powder or a few chocolate shavings can also add a gourmet touch.

Perfect Pairings for Serving

This milkshake is a dessert on its own, but it pairs wonderfully with a warm chocolate chip cookie or a slice of graham cracker pie. For a fun presentation, serve it with a side of mini marshmallows and graham crackers for dipping. It’s also a great treat for summer gatherings or cozy movie nights!

Quick Tips for Time-Saving

To save time, toast the marshmallows in advance and store them in an airtight container. Use pre-crushed graham crackers or buy them in crumb form to skip the extra step. If you’re in a rush, skip the honey drizzle and simply rim the glasses with graham cracker crumbs for a similar effect.

Equipment You’ll Need

A high-speed blender is key for achieving that smooth, creamy texture. If you don’t have one, a food processor can work in a pinch. For toasting marshmallows, a kitchen torch is quick and efficient, but you can also use your oven’s broiler. Chilled glasses are a must to keep your milkshake cold and refreshing!

Common Questions Answered

Can I make this dairy-free? Absolutely! Swap the vanilla ice cream for a dairy-free alternative and use almond or oat milk. How do I store leftovers? While best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze any extra milkshake in a sealed container and blend it again before serving. Just note the texture may change slightly.
