How to Make S’mores Milkshake

Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cook Time: 10 minutes | Total Time: 15 minutes | 

Servings: 4

Ingredients

• • 14 marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup 2% milk
  • 3 cups vanilla or chocolate ice cream
  • 1/4 cup coarsely crushed graham crackers
  • Chocolate or caramel syrup (for topping)

Instructions

Step 1: Toast the marshmallows.

Using a marshmallow roasting stick, roast the marshmallows over an open flame or grill until golden brown and melty. Be sure to rotate evenly for that classic campfire look.

Step 2: Blend the base.

In your portable blender, add the ice cream and milk. Pulse until creamy and smooth.

Step 3: Add the marshmallows.

Toss your freshly toasted marshmallows into the blender with the milkshake base. Blend until they’re fully incorporated, giving you that iconic roasted flavor in every sip.

Step 4: Serve it up.

Pour the milkshake into chilled glasses. Top each with crushed graham crackers and a generous drizzle of chocolate or caramel syrup. For extra flair, top with whipped cream, a mini roasted marshmallow, or even a square of chocolate tucked into the rim.

Tips, Variations for S’mores Milkshake

• Want a vegan version? Use dairy-free ice cream, plant-based milk, and vegan marshmallows.
• For a lighter take, use frozen yogurt or low-fat milk instead of ice cream.
• If you prefer a chunky milkshake, blend the marshmallows for gooey bites throughout.
• Try adding peanut butter, Nutella, or a splash of coffee for grown-up versions.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Recipe

Can I make this S’mores Milkshake without a grill?

Absolutely! If you don’t have a grill, you can toast marshmallows over a gas stovetop using long stainless steel kitchen tongs, or pop them under your oven broiler for a few seconds (like a few seconds only!)

What’s the best type of ice cream to use?

You can use either vanilla or chocolate ice cream—whichever you prefer. Vanilla offers a clean base that lets the roasted marshmallow flavor shine, while chocolate adds a rich, double-s’mores effect. For something more indulgent, try using a flavor like rocky road or cookies and cream. 

Can I prep this in advance for a party?

While this milkshake is best enjoyed immediately after blending (to keep it creamy and cold), you can prep the ingredients ahead of time. Roast the marshmallows, crush the graham crackers, and store the components separately.

Are there healthier options for this milkshake?

Yes! Swap in frozen bananas or Greek yogurt in place of some or all of the ice cream for a lower-calorie option. Use unsweetened almond or oat milk instead of 2% milk, and opt for sugar-free syrup or dark chocolate drizzle. Vegan ice creams also tend to be lighter and use more wholesome ingredients.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Definitely. Use your favorite plant-based milk (like oat, almond, or coconut), vegan marshmallows, and dairy-free ice cream. These swaps work just as well and still deliver all the creaminess and flavor. 

How do I keep the Graham cracker topping crunchy?

To keep the crushed graham crackers crisp, add them after pouring the milkshake into glasses. You can even toast them lightly for extra crunch.
