Two of summer’s best flavors: toasted marshmallow and blueberries, together in one frosty treat!

If you have never had a toasted marshmallow milkshake, you must do so. Immediately, today. That sticky, smoky, caramelized delight is good for more than just s’mores.

Blended with those golden-brown marshmallows is my sweet and Easy Blueberry Sauce, making this milkshake even more incredible! The flavor is fruity, sweet, soft and rich. This is a unique and delicious way to celebrate some of the best treats of summer!

Why you’ll love it

Homemade milkshakes are so much fun to make, for kids and adults alike. They’re indulgent, quick to make, and so fresh – not to mention a tasty way to cool down on a super hot day.

You can make the Easy Blueberry Sauce using freshly picked berries (that you picked yourself, perhaps!) or even frozen berries. The sauce comes together in minutes and can be made in advance. (It’s also delicious on pancakes and sundaes!)

How to make the milkshakes

Vanilla ice cream, blueberry sauce, milk, toasted marshmallows and glasses. — **Ingredients in this recipe**

Step 1: Make the blueberry sauce

Simmer blueberries, sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan and cook the sauce for about five minutes until it has thickened. Cool the sauce and then refrigerate it until it’s nice and cold! Find the complete instructions for Blueberry Sauce at this link.

Step 2: Toast the marshmallows

Thread marshmallows onto metal skewers and place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Place them under the broiler and watch them closely! They take less than a minute to get golden brown.

Step 3: Make the milkshakes

Blender jar with blueberry sauce, ice cream, and toasted marshmallows.

Put the blueberry sauce and toasted marshmallows into a blender along with a vanilla ice cream and milk. Blend until the mixture is smooth and frothy. Pour the mixture into chilled glasses, add a reusable straw, and enjoy!

Tips:

Be sure that the Blueberry Sauce is cool or cold so it won’t melt your ice cream. Better yet, make it a day or two before and have it waiting in the fridge.
Under a broiler the marshmallows will brown very quickly. I learned the hard way that you have to stay right by the oven – if you walk away or get distracted they will burn! Fortunately you’ll only be waiting less than 30 seconds and they’ll be perfectly toasted.
Not surprisingly the marshmallows get sticky after they’re toasted. Parchment paper on the baking sheet makes it much easier to remove them.

FAQs

How do you toast marshmallows without a campfire?

There are lots of ways! Thread marshmallows onto metal skewers and place them under the broiler in your oven. If you don’t have metal skewers place rows of marshmallows on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. You can also hold a marshmallow on a skewer over a gas or electric stove burner to brown it. If you have a hot coal or gas grill either of those would work. And, if you’re lucky enough to own a mini brulée torch then you can torch those ‘mallows!
