These creamy S’mores Milkshakes have all the flavors of campfire s’mores without the need to haul out the firepit! This recipe combines toasted marshmallows, vanilla ice cream, and your favorite chocolate bar with a glass rim coated in graham cracker crumbs. It’s the perfect way to celebrate the summer season!

I love making S’mores with my family. We love experimenting with the flavors, using cookies for the base and all sorts of chocolate candy bars inside. I just love it when the melted chocolate gets all over everything, and the gooey marshmallow adds to the fun (but I don’t love the messy hands it leaves behind!)

They also have these flat marshmallows that are perfect for S’mores. I’ve even seen chocolate-filled marshmallows at the grocery store! There are so many ways to make S’mores- who would’ve thought?

I decided to keep it simple for this recipe and stick to the basics. While there is certainly room for customization here, you’ll just need the basic S’mores ingredients to make this toasted marshmallow milkshake recipe!

S’Mores Milkshake Ingredients

Gather together these simple ingredients:

8-10 Jumbo Marshmallows
- You can also use about 1 ⅓ cup of mini marshmallows
3 sheets of graham crackers
1 Hershey milk chocolate bar
2 cups vanilla ice cream
½ cup whole milk

How to make S’mores Milkshakes

These fun ice cream treats are easy to whip up, and the presentation makes all the difference!

First, toast the large marshmallows. Use a kitchen torch to turn them golden brown, or place marshmallows on a baking sheet and broil them for a few minutes until toasted to your liking. If you are using mini marshmallows, make sure to spread them into an even layer before toasting, and watch them closely to make sure they don’t burn (unless you like them that way!). If you’re toasting marshmallows for a garnish, you’ll toast them during this time, too and set them aside until needed.

Next, melt your chocolate. Break the Hershey bar into pieces, then use a small, microwave-safe bowl to melt the chocolate pieces in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Stir and repeat in 15 second increments until fully melted.

Crumble or smash the graham crackers until they turn into fine crumbs and put them onto a plate. I like to put them in a Ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin or use my Ninja Food Chopper Express. It’s perfect for small jobs like this and easy to clean, too!

Now, blend together toasted marshmallows, vanilla ice cream, and whole milk until it is smooth and creamy.

Dip the top of your milkshake glasses into the melted chocolate, then drizzle chocolate sauce on the inside of each glass. Dip the chocolate-coated rim into the graham cracker crumbs. Then pour the milkshake into each glass, being careful not to disturb the graham cracker rim. Top with the additional toasted marshmallows.

Customize your Marshmallow Milkshakes

You don’t have to use a chocolate bar. You could also use chocolate syrup or hot fudge sauce, or melt chocolate chips instead. Use whatever you have on hand!
Use chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla for a rich chocolate marshmallow flavor!
Blending some graham crackers into the milkshake itself is a fun way to pump up that S’mores flavor!
Add a scoop of malt powder to make malted milkshakes (my favorite!)

Can you use marshmallow fluff in this recipe?

You can try using marshmallow cream in these milkshakes! Use about ¾ cup in place of the marshmallows. Of course, you wouldn’t get the toasted flavor, but that’s okay!

Can I double this recipe to serve more people?

Yes, this recipe doubles easily! The original recipe serves two people, so you can either double it or make multiple batches. You would need a large blender pitcher, though, as we use quite a few scoops of ice cream at once, so just make sure all the ingredients fit in your blender first. The last thing you want is S’mores Milkshakes all over your counter!

How do I adjust the thickness of my S’mores Milkshakes?

If you want to make your milkshake thicker, simply add less milk (you can always add more if needed). If you want it thinner, add more milk. Add the milk a tablespoon at a time so you don’t overdo it.

I don’t know about you, but I like my milkshakes thick and creamy. Others might like theirs a bit thinner. I’d say this recipe hits the sweet spot right in the middle.
