This ridiculously creamy, deeply indulgent milkshake tastes exactly like sitting around a campfire. It’s cold and thick, with bits of crushed graham cracker floating through every sip and ribbons of melted marshmallow and chocolate swirled throughout.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup chocolate syrup
  • 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers (about 2 full sheets)
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate chips (optional)
  • 68 large marshmallows (for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon graham cracker crumbs (for rimming and garnish)
  • Extra chocolate syrup (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your glasses by rimming them with chocolate syrup and graham cracker crumbs. Dip the rim of each glass in a shallow dish of chocolate syrup, then immediately dip it into a plate of graham cracker crumbs. Set aside.
  2. Toast the marshmallows. Using a kitchen torch, place the large marshmallows on a skewer or hold them with tongs and torch until golden brown and slightly charred. Alternatively, place marshmallows in a dry non-stick skillet over medium heat, turning frequently, for 2-3 minutes until puffed and golden. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Crush the graham crackers. Place 2 full sheets in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin into small pieces (not powder). Reserve about 1 tablespoon for garnish.
  4. Layer ingredients in the blender: start with milk at the bottom, then add vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, mini marshmallows, crushed graham crackers, and chocolate chips (if using).
  5. Blend on low speed, gradually increasing to high, for 30-45 seconds until smooth and creamy. If too thick, add an extra tablespoon of milk; if too thin, add more ice cream.
  6. Taste and adjust. Add a pinch of sea salt if too sweet, or more chocolate or marshmallow as desired.
  7. Assemble the milkshake: pour into prepared glasses, filling three-quarters full. Drizzle extra chocolate syrup around the inside of the glass before pouring for a marbled effect. Top with toasted marshmallows.
  8. Add finishing touches: sprinkle reserved graham cracker crumbs over the top, add a final drizzle of chocolate syrup, and optionally add whipped cream. Serve immediately with a thick straw and spoon.

Notes

For best results, use good quality vanilla ice cream (like Hรคagen-Dazs or Tillamook). Toast marshmallows right before serving to maintain puffiness. Don’t over-blend; graham cracker pieces should remain visible. Chill glasses in freezer for 10 minutes before serving to keep milkshake cold longer. This milkshake is best enjoyed immediately.
