Toasted Marshmallow Coffee Milkshake Recipe

There's nothing quite as evocative as the flavor of toasted marshmallows, which conjures nostalgic feelings of times around the campfire. Often enjoyed on their own or in s'mores, toasted marshmallows also make an excellent addition to hot chocolate, and they make a wonderful flavor pairing for coffee too. These melty pillowy treats can be used in your coffee as a delicious alternative to the more standard addition of cream and sugar. The particular taste of roasted marshmallows adds a delightfully charred caramelized depth of flavor that perfectly complements the richness of coffee.

Vanilla ice cream and milk are blended with cooled coffee and freshly toasted marshmallows to create this delicious nostalgia bomb in a glass. Top with lashings of whipped cream and more toasted marshmallows for the ultimate milkshake. If you are a coffee lover, this will take your appreciation of the drink to a new level; read on to find out how simple it is to make this milkshake at home.

Preheat the broiler.

Place the marshmallows into a baking dish lined with parchment paper.

In a food processor or blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, the milk, the cooled coffee shot, the milk powder, the cocoa powder, and the vanilla extract.

Add the toasted, cooled marshmallows to the blender.

Blend the mixture for 30 seconds or until smooth.

Pour into a glass.

Top with the whipped cream and more marshmallows if desired, to serve.

Milkshakes are definitely best when they are freshly mixed, the ice cream adds a chill to the drink and helps to keep everything deliciously thick, just as a milkshake should be. However, in the unlikely event that you have some leftovers, there are a few methods you can use to store milkshakes. The consistency may change a little depending on which option you choose.

One method is to simply cover the milkshake leftovers and store them in the fridge overnight. Just give everything a good stir before consuming; it will still taste delicious. However, storing the milkshake this way will mean that the mixture is thinner, as the ice cream that helps to keep the drink thick will not stay frozen in its solid form in the fridge. Of course, you can always add an extra scoop or two of ice cream when you re-blend the milkshake. The other option you have is to freeze any leftovers, which will solidify the mixture. This can then be removed from the freezer when you are ready for it, meaning it can be stored for a longer time. Let the milkshake leftovers stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before adding them to a blender along with a splash of milk. Blend to achieve that perfect, thick consistency, and enjoy!
