When it’s scorching out, I just want something cold and sweet, but honestly, I’m not always in the mood for caffeine or booze.
That’s kind of how this treat happened—it’s a little indulgent, super simple, and honestly, it’s basically dessert in a glass.
This chocolate marshmallow shake mocktail comes together fast, uses everyday ingredients, and tastes like a creamy dream.
The first time I whipped this up for my family, they were hooked. The combo of smooth chocolate and gooey marshmallow just hits the spot for kids and grown-ups alike.
No need for anything fancy here—just a blender and a few minutes, and you’re set.
If you want a non-alcoholic drink that actually feels a bit special, you might as well try this.
Chocolate Marshmallow Shake Mocktail Recipe
I tend to crave sweet, creamy stuff on lazy afternoons, and this shake always delivers. Blending chocolate ice cream with marshmallow cream? It’s a no-brainer, and everyone seems to love it.
Equipment
- Blender: You’ll want a pretty sturdy blender to get that ultra-smooth texture.
- Measuring Cups and Spoons: I like to be precise, but honestly, eyeballing works in a pinch.
- Tall Glasses: Makes it look fancy and keeps things cold.
- Ice Cream Scoop: Way easier than digging with a spoon.
- Spoon or Straw: For swirling and, you know, getting every last bit.
- Knife or Rolling Pin: Needed for smashing up graham crackers.
Ingredients
- 2 cups chocolate ice cream
- 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2% is best for that creamy vibe)
- 1/4 cup marshmallow fluff or marshmallow cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
- 2 Tbsp chocolate syrup (plus more for drizzling, if you’re feeling it)
- 1/4 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 graham cracker, crushed
- Whipped cream for topping (totally optional)
I like to set everything out first, so I’m not scrambling once the blender is going.
Instructions
- Dump the ice cream, milk, marshmallow fluff, vanilla, ice cubes, and chocolate syrup into your blender.
- Blend on high until it’s smooth and creamy—don’t overdo it or it’ll get runny.
- Pour into tall glasses.
- Top with whipped cream, mini marshmallows, and that crushed graham cracker.
- Drizzle on more chocolate syrup if you’re in the mood.
- Serve right away with a straw or a long spoon.
I usually stop blending as soon as it’s smooth, just to keep that thick shake vibe.
Notes
Whole milk is my go-to for richness, but if you want to lighten things up, low-fat milk works. Sometimes, I’ll toss in a little extra ice cream or ice if I’m after a thicker shake.
If I’m feeling fancy, I’ll rim the glass with graham cracker crumbs for a s’mores twist. Marshmallow fluff or cream—either one is fine, so use what you’ve got.
Vanilla extract is great for a flavor boost, but honestly, it’s not a dealbreaker if you skip it. Want to mix it up? Mini chocolate chips or a swirl of peanut butter are both awesome.
Just a heads up: this shake is at its best right after you blend it, so don’t wait around—enjoy it cold.

Tasting Notes
The first thing that jumps out is the strong cocoa flavor. It’s sweet, but not overly rich—kind of smooth, honestly, and really easy to drink.
As I keep sipping, the marshmallow starts to come through. There’s this soft, creamy sweetness that’s a bit like toasted marshmallows from a campfire.
The combo is just plain comforting. It’s got a playful side, too.
The texture? Thick and cool, which I love. The whipped cream on top melts in and somehow makes the whole thing feel lighter and extra fluffy.
It’s not too sweet, so I don’t feel overwhelmed by the end of the glass. Everything just blends together and feels balanced.
Sometimes I’ll toss on some chocolate chips or graham cracker crumbs for a little crunch. That extra texture? It just makes the whole thing feel more special.
