Stand’s Toasted Marshmallow Milkshake
Lovelies! It’s Summer, aren’t you excited? I am, and this is coming from the girl who writes love letters to Winter. This week the anticipation for Summer hit me like a ton of bricks. I’m having a fun-filled Memorial weekend with Sex and the City 2 (despite the bad reviews), a screening of Purple Rain at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, BBQs, a birthday party, and I also plan on setting a bit of time aside to down a few of these cute little milkshakes.
Summer has got me so giddy that I thought it was time I roast some marshmallows (over my gas range) and throw them in a blender with vanilla ice cream–it’s absolute craziness. I think you should be crazy too. It’s only fair.
Why is this milkshake so special? Well because it’s comes from Gourmet, who was genius enough to figure out what’s in Stand’s famous Toasted Marshmallow Milkshake.
The recipe calls for roasted marshmallows blended with vanilla ice cream, a spoonful of yogurt and a tablespoon of milk; it’s then topped with a dollop of whipped cream and a few perfectly golden marshmallows. What does this mean? It means that as your slurping this thing up, you’ll be met along the way with little speckles of toasted marshmallow-awesomeness.
This is Summer happiness. Get on it!
Stand’s Toasted Marshmallow Milkshake
Recipe from Gourmet via Cupcakes and Cashmere
I recommend getting all of the ingredients ready in the blender and then toasting the marshmallows. You want your marshmallows gooey and hot when you throw them in the blender so they incorporate nicely. Marshmallows tend to get sticky and harden upon cooling down.
3 scoops vanilla ice cream (use a high quality ice cream or make your own)
1 tablespoon whole milk
I large dollop of plain yogurt
5 Kraft Jumbo Jef-Puffed marshmallows (or homemade)
Whipped cream
Toast marshamllows under a broiler, or, if you’re frisky, over a flame until they just start to blacken evenly (the trick is to make sure it’s evenly toasted and dark, but not turned to charcoal).
Put the milk, yogurt, and then ice cream in the blender. Blend carefully, just until you get a “donut”—when you see the shake holding to the sides of the blender with a hollow core.
Add three of the toasted marshmallows to the blender, and whirl it just until they’re all broken up and distributed evenly. Be careful not to overblend it, making it too melty.
Pour shake into a glass, top with a dollop of whipped cream, break the last two marshmallows on top, and serve with an extra-wide straw.
Repeat if necessary. And it will probably be necessary
Oh my! Why is that I never thought of this? So delicious looking shake!
Oh my Goodness. I am on my way to the store to get some ice cream and marshmallows. I want to make this right now and it is seven thirty in the morning. I am going to have some very happy kids in about 30 minutes!
YUM. A great Memorial Day weekend drink! Thanks!
This looks unreal! I would have never thought of roasting a marshmallow for a milkshake. It’s super creative!
i had a s’mores shake at the ghirardelli factory in san francision back in the day. this looks similar, and delicious. and on another note, what font did you use for your header? would you happen to have a file of it? [i'm planning to make our wedding invitations by hand... and by hand, i mean computer.]
cheers and thanks,
*heather*

I will be seeing SATC also. Bad reviews, good review, who cares. My love for Carrie Bradshaw and the girls won’t be held down by Siskel and Ebert.
This marshmallow milkshake looks like a dream! I may have to smuggle it into the movie.
This looks so insanely good, I may have to plan a BBQ just as an excuse to make and serve these milkshakes!
What a clever milkshake. It looks delicious!
I did this with half orange sherbert under the guise of “less fattening”. It’s like a 50/50 bar – divine!!
OMG – this looks incredible and so unique! What a tasty treat.
(And I can’t believe you write love letters to winter… I would happily date his brother, summer!)
Alli–You made it into a creamsicle marshmallow milkshake?! You’re a genius. I have to try it!
Kristen–I truly love Winter…but I have a wondering eye at the moment.
WOWZA.
Wow these were good!! I changed it up a litte bit – I immediately thought of those toasted coconut marshmallows but couldn’t find them, so I just added some toasted coconut and used vanilla bean coconut milk ice cream. Thanks for posting this!
Delicious. I’ve been hearing about these for a while now and still haven’t gotten around to trying one. The addition of yogurt is an interesting one for sure. Even seen some recipes floating around that include sour cream. Can’t wait to try this recipe. Sure looks good.
wow, this looks amazing…i just bought those straws myself (thorough bake it pretty) and can’t wait to use them.
I just died and went to heaven!! Hammock and milkshakes here I come…ahhh summer
This sounds incredible! The toasted marshmallows take it over the top in the best way.
This makes me want to run out to the shop to buy marshmallows… yum!!

If you ever go to Atl, hit up FLIP burger. The guy who runs it was on Top Chef and makes this amazing smores milkshake with dry ice.
OMG! I am in heaven! Need to try this asap!
Wow, now this I never would have imagined. My mind is kind of blown by this one. I am afraid to even try such decadent deliciousness:)

Just found your blog and I’m lovin’ it. I gasped when I saw you went to the Hollywood Forever Cemetery for movie night. I wrote a post about it recently. I take it you are a SoCal too. Hope you visit over on my blog sometime. Nice to meet you!
I don’t think that is even legal.
oh my goodness…. i love this idea SO much I can’t even explain it in text…. toasted marshmallows rock the world!
Omg this reminds me so much of Good Stuff Eatery’s marshmallow shake! I have to try this.
