Toasted Marshmallow Milkshake
28 Oct
Before I get started here this morning, I have an announcement to make:
(and no, I’m not pregnant)
WINTER HAS ARRIVED!
You can all rest easier now that I will stop complaining about the heat. Winter has come and baby, it’s cold outside. Right now, the temperature is a brisk 49 degrees.
Yep – it’s cold. Perfect. I welcomed the weather last night with open arms and a batch of pasta e fagioli and homemade bread. Tonight’s dinner is…… hmmm, I don’t know yet.
But that’s irrelevant at the moment, because I have to share this:
Have you ever seen something so unusual and enticing? Ok, a Ferrari falls under that category too, but you can’t drink it!
I made this several weeks ago for Alexander, to celebrate his first touchdown for football. In fact, here he is:
Although I’m not crazy about marshmallows, I tried it and WOW! It has such a greaty toasty flavor – and I’ll bet it would be even better with chocolate ice cream.
Alexander loved it so much, he asked for it again the next day.
For breakfast.
Toasted Marshmallow Milkshake - adapted from Bobby Flay
9 large marshmallows, plus additional for decorating
¼ cup milk
2 cups vanilla ice cream
Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Don’t skip this step, or your marshmallows will be impossible to remove.
Place the marshmallows on the prepared sheet and set under the broiler until they are toasty and golden, about 45 seconds. Turn them over carefully and toast the other side as well. Remove from the oven and set aside while you prepare the shake.
Place the milk and ice cream in a blender and blend for a few seconds – add the marshmallows and blend again until smooth, about 10 seconds.
Garnish with whipped cream and a toasted marshmallow and serve immediately.
Makes 2 shakes.
Yummmm marshmallow milkshake for breakfast! I love how your kid thinks!
OH MY!!! I love, love, love roasted marshmallows!!! I was next to you, I would give you a big kiss!! LOL!
Yum! Never tried it, but I love marshmallows! And I’m not crazy about hot chocolate, so now I’ve got a drink to put them in.
I just love the taste of toasted marshmallows! Very cool idea to blend them into a shake.
Enjoy your “winter”!
Popped in to drool! That looks great!
Ooh…it sounds great!
What an interesting shake! I do think it sounds better with chocolate (surprise), but then the mallow taste might not be as noticeable. Fun though! I just made some Smores fudge–and it’s good!
Yum…it does look incredible.
Yum! I love marshmallows!
I almost considered buying Bobby’s burger book just for the milkshake recipes. This one sounds fantastic. Your son is a little heartbreaker!
This idea is crazy but I kind of love it! I agree that it sounds amazing with chocolate ice cream…maybe garnished with some graham cracker crumbs to make a s’mores milkshake?!
My hubby is a marshmallow FANATIC…I have bookmarked this!
Alexander is so handsome!!!!
OK, YUM! What a fun idea–and a breakfast of champions too.
Delish! I love Bobby’s shakes!
I may try this for my kids tonight. We have some leftover marshmallows from when our weather turned unseasonably cold three weeks ago. We roasted marshmallows in the fireplace. I wish our winter was 49 degrees…
Hi there!
I stumbled upon your blog while googling a recipe for cookies. What a cool site. I have spent at least two hours looking at your mouthwatering recipes.
I made this milkshake this morning for my daughter, even though it is raining and cold here in Tennessee. She loved the milkshake! Thank you so much, oh and she thinks your son is cute.
