Ingredients:

  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers (about 4-5 full sheets)
  • 1/4 cup chocolate syrup
  • 1/4 cup marshmallow fluff
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked sea salt (optional, for campfire flavor)
  • Whipped cream (for topping)
  • 1/4 cup mini marshmallows (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate shavings or chips (for garnish)
  • 2-3 graham cracker pieces (for garnish)

Equipment:

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Small skillet (optional, for toasting marshmallows)
  • Glasses for serving

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Garnishes:
    • If toasting marshmallows, place mini marshmallows in a small skillet over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes, stirring gently. Set aside to cool.
    • Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or a sealed plastic bag and rolling pin. Reserve some larger pieces for garnish.
  2. Blend the Milkshake:
    • In a blender, combine vanilla ice cream, whole milk, crushed graham crackers, chocolate syrup, marshmallow fluff, vanilla extract, and smoked sea salt (if using).
    • Blend on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy, about 30-45 seconds. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more milk; if too thin, add a bit more ice cream.
  3. Assemble the Milkshake:
    • Drizzle the inside of serving glasses with extra chocolate syrup for a decorative effect.
    • Pour the blended milkshake into the glasses, filling them about 3/4 full.
  4. Garnish and Serve:
    • Top each milkshake with a dollop of whipped cream.
    • Sprinkle toasted mini marshmallows, chocolate shavings or chips, and a few graham cracker pieces on top.
    • Insert a graham cracker piece into the whipped cream for an extra touch.
    • Serve immediately with a straw and a spoon.

Tips:

  • For a stronger campfire flavor, use smoked sea salt or lightly char the marshmallows for garnish.
  • To make it boozy, add 1 oz of bourbon or Baileys Irish Cream per milkshake before blending.
  • For a vegan version, use dairy-free ice cream, almond milk, and vegan marshmallows and chocolate.

Serving Size:

  • Makes 2 large or 4 small milkshakes.
