Homemade Marshmallow Ice Cream Recipe | Julie Blanner (2024)

This easy, creamy Marshmallow Ice Cream recipe made with just three ingredients, in minutes.

I should call this post can’t stop, won’t stop, because it’s clear that I have an ice cream and baking addiction. When you combine the two of them together? Incredible.

Over the weekend, Chris and I enjoyed a light picnic atForest Park and went to a nearby restaurant for dessert (because date nights always justify dessert). They offered a warm brownie topped with marshmallow ice cream.

I was completely intrigued by the marshmallow ice cream and so wetook a chance and ordered it (I mean, I was risking a lemon tart!) It tasted like frozen marshmallow cream and I immediately knew I had to make my own for the girls.

Why hadn’t I thought of this before? One of my favorite toppings blended into frozen custard is marshmallow cream. I couldn’t wait to put a scoop of it on top of my cookie cobbler!

It’s amazing on its own and the perfect compliment to just about every dessert. It pairs exceptionally well with peanut butter, chocolate and even lemon!
