I am obsessed with this easy three-ingredient toasted marshmallow ice cream recipe, it really is as delicious as it sounds! The best part… no ice cream machine is needed! This recipe should take you about 5 minutes…MAX!

This quick and easy ice cream recipe is a staple at my home during the summer months. Believe it or not, this recipe actually started out as my s’mores popsicles recipe, however, after I tasted the marshmallow batter, I knew I had to create ice cream out of it. If you’re not a fan of vanilla ice cream, no worries! I included some variations you can make with it to change the base flavor.

The ultimate trick to this recipe is to top it with crushed graham crackers for a nice topping. I am especially excited to serve this with my Homemade Hot Fudge Sauce or perhaps eat it with my Chocolate Spoons…maybe even top it with my Salted Maple Caramel Sauce. The possibilities are endless!

As I mentioned, this recipe only requires a total of 3 ingredients, yet tastes so rich and delicious! 

  • Marshmallows – These will be toasted and then incorporated into the batter.
  • Heavy whipping cream – This will be the base of your ice cream.
  • Sweetened condensed milk – This acts as a sweetener to the batter and will also thicken it up.

Supplies Needed 

Here are all the supplies you’ll need to make this no-churn ice cream recipe or any in the future.

PREHEAT – Preheat the broiler on high. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick spray. Set to the side.

BEAT – While the oven pre-heats you’ll make the base for the toasted marshmallow layer. Using a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Add the heavy whipping cream and condensed milk. Beat on high for one minute.

TOAST – While the batter mixes, spread the mini marshmallows out on the pan. Toast for about 30 seconds until golden brown but not burnt. Remove from the oven and set to the side.

FAQs

How do you toast marshmallows without a grill?

There are many different methods you can use to toast marshmallows without a grill. I’ll be honest I rarely ever toast them on the grill. The easiest method is an oven with the broiler turned on high. You will only need to toast them for 20-30 seconds max. Make sure the light is on and you watch them carefully so they don’t burn.

I also have a toaster oven that I can crank up the heat if I don’t want to heat my whole house for the 30 second toast. In this case, it sometimes takes a little longer to toast. Either way–make sure you watch the marshmallows.

Another option is using a butane torch for toasting. This option will yield an even quicker browning process and give you the toasted flavor you need.

If you don’t have access to an oven you can always use the microwave. This isn’t an ideal method but works. You just won’t yield the toasted flavor you get when you toast in the oven, but it will melt and make the marshmallows softer.

What ingredients do you need for no-churn ice cream?

This simple recipe calls for three simple ingredients. Marshmallows, heavy whipping cream,  and sweetened condensed milk.

Can you add marshmallows to ice cream?

Yes, you can add toasted marshmallows or regular marshmallows. Simply fold in the toasted marshmallows into your ice cream batter then freeze!

How do you make marshmallow ice cream?

What ice creams have marshmallows in it?

No churn simply means that no ice cream machine is needed to create ice cream. Typically, no-churn ice cream tends to be a bit icier as compared to churned ice cream.
