Toasted Marshmallow Ice Cream Recipe

Yup, SERIOUSLY, Marshmallow Ice Cream. And YES it is as AMAZING as it sounds. I love making ice cream and my ice cream maker (best birthday gift EVER) has been getting quite the work out this week! This recipe is a basic vanilla custard ice cream with toasted marshmallows mixed in, easy and tasty. You’ll be SO glad you made it.

This Marshmallow ice cream is great plain, but I’m dying to try it with my Hot Fudge… Or maybe with chilled hot chocolate as a float? Okay, I’m totally inspired and Mmmm, I’m TOTALLY doing that tomorrow! My husband thought it would be terrible and almost refused to try it, but even he was totally won over my this treat!

The flavor all comes from toasting your marshmallows first, we not only want them to get all warm and melty but also a bit toasted. You can do this with a brulee torch one at a time, but it’s much easier to spread them out on a pan (covered in a silpat is best) – not too close to the heating unit, see how I left a blank center because of my gas heating down the center. Bake for a few mins, the broil to get that toasted brown.

There is some gorgeous speckling from the toasted marshmallows, it looks a bit like vanilla bean ice cream. In fact you could use a vanilla beans instead of vanilla if you want, but be careful not to go overboard with the vanilla flavor.
