Don’t worry you won’t have to fire up your grill to make this s’mores milkshake. You can if you want too or you can just turn your broiler on for a hot minute… get it (pun totally intended). That’s what I choose to do. I cranked up my oven (I know… in the middle of summer in Florida I’m cranking up the oven–I’ve lost my mind, clearly). But trust me it was totally worth the kitchen being hot for a good half hour… and just think the reward is that you can cool off with a s’mores milkshake!

Ingredients
- Ice Cream – I like to use vanilla ice cream for this recipe so you can really taste the toasted marshmallow.
- Whole Milk – Any type of milk will work, but I find the a full fat milk works best for milkshakes.
- Marshmallows – I came up with the formula that you need 13 marshmallows. To be honest, whatever amount you desire will work. You won’t want to skip the toasting step. This is what gives it the toasted flavor.
- Chocolate Bars – I like to add some chocolate bar to the blender to give it the full s’mores taste.
- Graham Crackers – These are needed to make a smore for the topping.
- Chocolate Syrup – A little chocolate syrup to line the glass is all you need.
Directions
Preheat broiler on high heat if you plan to toast the marshmallows in the oven. If not, turn on the grill or light the fire pit!
While oven is heating, place 10 marshmallows on a baking sheet covered with aluminum foil. Then add 3 graham crackers, chocolate from half a chocolate bar, and 3 marshmallows on top (you should have 3 s’mores). Broil on high for 30-seconds to 1 minute until marshmallow is toasty. Remove from oven and let cool.
In a blender, add vanilla ice cream, whole milk, and 1 chocolate bar. Blend for 10 seconds. Then add in 6 toasted marshmallows, and one s’more. Pulse 5 times until just incorporated.
Drizzle chocolate syrup in glasses, then divide the s’mores milkshake batter between both glasses. Top with 2 toasted marshmallows and one full s’more. Enjoy immediately.
Recipe FAQs
Yes, you can substitute with chocolate ice cream or even a graham cracker-flavored or marshmallow ice cream for a twist on the classic flavor.
You can toast the marshmallows over a gas stove flame or use a kitchen torch to achieve that perfect golden brown.
Absolutely! Just use a dairy-free ice cream and milk alternative, like almond or oat milk. Use a dairy free chocolate as well. Always make sure to check product packaging in the case you have a dairy allergy.
This milkshake is best enjoyed immediately after preparation, but you can prep the s’mores and marshmallows ahead of time to save on assembly.
For a thicker consistency, reduce the amount of milk or add an extra scoop of ice cream.
Tips and Tricks
Here are a few of my favorite tips and tricks when making smores milkshakes.
- Experiment with Flavors: Try adding a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to enhance the flavors.
- Graham Cracker Rim: For an extra touch, coat the rim of your glass with crushed graham crackers before pouring in the milkshake.
- Make It Boozy: For an adult version, add a shot of Baileys or Kahlua to the blender.
- Use Quality Chocolate: Opt for high-quality chocolate for a richer, more indulgent flavor.
- Toast Marshmallows Evenly: Watch the marshmallows closely while toasting to ensure they don’t burn, and turn them for even browning if necessary.
This smore milkshake is the perfect way to bring the joy of a campfire treat into your kitchen, any time of the year.

Instead of firing up the broiler my husband used his Map torch (mens version of a brule’ torch) and toasted the marshmallows. Worked just as well.

Love the alternative way to toast the marshmallows! Glad you enjoyed it!
