Who doesn't love toasted marshmallows?
We have a fire pit in our backyard, and the kids are constantly wanting to roast marshmallows. They want to invite the neighborhood kids over to have a Smores party. Who can blame them? Smores are fantastic! There is something about toasted marshmallows that brings out the kid in all of us. So, if you don't feel like making a fire, bring it inside. Add ice cream and make a milk shake... Game on! Recipe adapted from Sandra Lee. You can toast the large marshmallows for garnish in the same pan. Or, if you have a blowtorch for cooking. Just torch it.
3 cups miniature marshmallows
4 cups vanilla bean ice cream~ of course any vanilla is fine.
1 cup milk
Garnish~ large toasted marshmallows
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking pan with foil; spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Place marshmallows on a prepared pan. Bake for 4 minutes, or until golden brown. Let stand to cool for 10 minutes. Bake for 4 minutes longer. Let stand again to cool for 10 minutes.
In the container of a blender, combine toasted marshmallows, ice cream, and milk; process until smooth. Garnish each serving with a large toasted marshmallow, if desired. Serve immediately.
