Real Summer Sunset Smores Shake with whipped cream and toasted marshmallows

My sister and I used to beg for s’mores every summer night even when it was too hot for a fire. We’d microwave marshmallows, smash them between chocolate and graham crackers, and call it perfect. Years later, I craved that memory but chilled. That’s how the Summer Sunset Smores Shake was born ice cream blended with fluff, chocolate swirled like a painted sky, and a toasted marshmallow on top.

I serve it with Choco-Chill Cheesecake Ice Cream Bliss or Summer Strawberry Candy Shake when we want something fun and cold. It’s everything summer should taste like. Just sippable.

Ingredients (for 2 large shakes)

Real ingredients for Summer Sunset Smores Shake
  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream
  • 1 cup milk (adjust for thickness)
  • ½ cup marshmallow fluff or cream
  • ¼ cup chocolate syrup
  • ¼ cup crushed graham crackers
  • Whipped cream (for topping)
  • 2 jumbo marshmallows (toasted)

Instructions:Summer Sunset Smores Shake

Step 1: Prepare the glasses
Start by drizzling chocolate syrup around the inside of each glass. Think of it like painting a sunset swirl. Place the glasses in the freezer for five minutes to help the chocolate set.

Step 2: Blend the base
In a blender, combine vanilla ice cream, milk, and marshmallow fluff. Blend until smooth, thick, and creamy. You want it pourable but not runny.

Step 3: Pour and layer
Take the chilled glasses out. Pour the milkshake in slowly to keep the chocolate swirl intact. Top with whipped cream, then sprinkle graham cracker crumbs generously.

Step 4: Toast and crown
Using a kitchen torch or broiler, lightly toast your marshmallows until golden brown. Place one on a skewer and set it gently into each shake like a crown.

Step 5: Serve immediately
These are best enjoyed fresh, preferably during golden hour. We love pairing them with a playful Pink Candy Freakshake or as dessert after a Summer Mango Coconut Float Milkshake.

Summer Sunset Smores Shake Serving and Storing

How to Serve It

Summer Sunset Smores Shake:

This shake is best fresh from the blender. The swirl holds, the whipped cream stands tall, and the toasted marshmallow stays soft and warm. We like serving it just before golden hour especially with the Tropical Sherbet Swirl Mocktail for a full summer moment.

How to Store It

Blend the shake base and freeze for up to one hour. Re-blend just before serving to get the texture back. Toast marshmallows fresh each time they’re quick, and the flavor payoff is worth it.
