Question:
What does marshmallow ice cream taste like?
It tastes like a big, fat, gooey, sticky marshmallow.
Big, fat, gooey, sticky.
And with just 4 ingredients, it can be yours in 10 minutes flat.
Marshmallow Ice Cream
(Adapted from Vegan a la Mode)
- 2 cups milk of choice
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- pinch salt
- 1 container Ricemellow Crème, or 10 oz marshmallows (Sweet&Sara and Dandies both make vegan marshmallows) (You could probably use 10 oz Smuckers marshmallow fluff, which—albeit high in artificial ingredients—is vegan.)
- option: 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- option: 1/2 cup graham crackers or Healthy Graham Crackers
CCK’s easy version: Combine all ingredients (except optional ingredients) and stir very well, being sure to break up any clumps of the marshmallow fluff. (My version uses the fluff. See Hannah’s version, below, if you’d prefer to use real marshmallows.) If you have an ice cream maker, process according to manufacturer’s directions. See “nutrition” link below if you don’t have an ice cream maker. At the end, stir in optional ingredients, if using. Transfer to an airtight container, and chill in the freezer for an hour or so, until true ice-cream consistency is reached.
Or you can try Hannah’s “toasted marshmallow” version (reprinted with permission from Vegan a la Mode): Heat the broiler of your oven to high and generously grease a jelly roll pan or rimmed baking sheet. Spread the marshmallow crème out in a thin, even layer or sprinkle on the marshmallows so that none overlap. Broil for 5-10 minutes, until the top is golden brown and bubbly and your kitchen smells like a sweet campfire. Keep a very close eye on the oven the whole time, because as any camper can tell you, marshmallows go from perfectly toasted and delicious to positively incinerated in no time. Cool 15-30 minutes before proceeding. Scrape the toasted marshmallow cream or plain marshmallows off the baking sheet and into your blender. Add the remaining ingredients, and puree until smooth. Transfer the base into a smaller pitcher, and chill thoroughly for at least 3 hours before churning in your ice cream machine according to the manufacturer’s directions. Transfer the soft ice cream to an airtight container, and store it in the freezer for another three hours minimum, until frozen solid, before serving.

Black Pearl. Sounds like a wonderful flashback as a little kid with ice cream in Asia.
I love marshmallow everything. I have never had marshmallow ice cream before. I cannot wait to try this!!
Turkish Coffee Ice Cream sounds really interesting…topped with vegan caramel sauce I think. 🙂
Woderful pictures!! <3
I've never tried vegan Marshmallows, I don't know where to get them (in Germany).
I am so glad you tried the toasted marshmallow flavour. It sounds delicious.
Personally, I’m torn between the Turkish Coffee flavour or the Rose Petal. I think I’ll have to flip a coin!
Peanut Butter Bombshell sounds yummy and Birthday Cake. I want to try all of them, truly I do, does this still count as an entry? Lol. I saw Rose Petal Ice Cream that looks interesting. In this heat, I want to eat ice cream for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and in between. 🙂
I would love to see the toffee crunch!
I’d usually say red velvet, but that got ruined for me when someone told me it was just chocolate with red food coloring. 🙁 I’ve been a lover of buttered popcorn ever since I discovered buttered popcorn jelly bellies, so that’s definitely my jam!
Just found your site while doing a search for banana soft serve. YUM!! I’m going to be subscribing! And the vegan a la mode book looks marvelous!
Mango colada!!! My dad would love that sort of thing – it’s his birthday next month so I think it would make a great birthday treat! 🙂
I’d try toffee crunch first – Sounds so yummy!
Peanut butter bomb shell sounds so good and rose petal seems interesting.
My daughter will be soooo happy to try the Red Velvet flavor. It’s her all time favorite icecream and she has been so sad since becoming gluten free. All of them look amazing 🙂
The toasted marshmallow ice cream sounds so good and looks delicious! Yum! I think I would like to try making the German chocolate flavor first – that sounds amazing. Thanks for the nice giveaway!
Toffee Crunch for sure! I would eventually try all of them though, because they all sound amazing!
Wait! I know! 😉
I would make this toasted marshmallow ice cream… Then put a scoop of it in a rich, dark hot chocolate!
