Description
This toasted marshmallow ice cream is a delightful treat, blending creamy sweetness with a toasted flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 1/2 cups marshmallows
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Start by toasting the marshmallows. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and broil them in the oven for a few minutes. Keep a close eye on them—they can go from golden to too dark very quickly. You’re looking for that perfect toasted top, slightly crisp and deeply caramelized.
- As they come out of the oven, you’ll notice that familiar aroma—sweet, warm, and just a little smoky. It’s the heart of this toasted marshmallow ice cream.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk and toasted marshmallows. Stir gently until the marshmallows melt completely into the milk, creating a smooth and fragrant mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Slowly add the warm marshmallow mixture, stirring continuously until everything is well blended.
- Let the mixture cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours. This step helps deepen the flavor and ensures a smooth texture when churning.
- Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. As it thickens, you’ll see it transform into a soft, creamy consistency.
- Transfer to a container and freeze for 3–4 hours, or until firm. When ready to serve, scoop out the toasted marshmallow ice cream and enjoy that perfect blend of creamy sweetness and toasted flavor.
Notes
- Ensure you keep an eye on the marshmallows while toasting to achieve the perfect golden color.
- Refrigerating the mixture for at least 2 hours improves the flavor and texture during churning.
