Last night I made one of the most requested meals at my house, Sliders. However, I was in the mood for the whole burger and a milkshake experience.
I recently saw this recipe for Toasted Marshmallow Milkshakes and I knew I had to try it. Let's not mention there was a bag of marshmallows burning a whole in my pantry.
And honestly, I think this was the best milkshake I've ever had. It's very sweet but the flavor is incredible and authentically toasted marshmallow. The family could not believe I was serving dessert with dinner. Hey, it was one of those kind of nights.
This shake is not very thick, easily rectified by adding more ice cream, however, I left mine thin. It's easier for the kids to slurp down.
You must try this next time you are craving a milkshake, it's incredible.
Spike Mendelsohn's Toasted Marshmallow Milkshakes
Adapted from Every Day
8 oz. jumbo marshmallows
2 cups milk
2 cups vanilla ice cream
1 Tablespoon sour cream
Preheat the broiler. On a foil-lined baking sheet, place the marshmallows in a single layer; broil until charred. Do not leave the broiler as marshmallows catch fire. Transfer to a plate to cool.
In a blender, mix the milk, ice cream, sour cream and charred marshmallows (save a few to garnish the milkshake). Serve immediately.
