Growing up, summers meant late-night bonfires with family and a steady supply of s’mores. As I got older, I wanted to relive those memories but with a grown-up twist, and thus this coffee-infused version was born. It quickly became a family favorite at gatherings, and now, it’s a tradition to enjoy them while sharing stories around the table.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Ingredients Notes
Quality ingredients make this recipe truly shine. Choose a strong brewed coffee for a rich flavor, and don’t skimp on using the best-quality Chocolate Syrup for ultimate satisfaction. In case you’re lactose intolerant, almond or oat milk serves as a fantastic substitute.
Recipe Steps
Step 1
Brew a strong cup of coffee and let it cool to room temperature. This will keep the milkshake from being watered down when blended with ice.
Step 2
In a blender, combine the cooled coffee, milk, chocolate Ice Cream, and a generous drizzle of chocolate syrup. Blend until smooth.
Step 3
Add crushed graham crackers and marshmallow fluff. Pulse the blender a few times to mix these ingredients throughout, ensuring a lovely texture.
Step 4
Rim the inside of your glass with additional chocolate syrup, then pour the milkshake mixture into the glass.
Step 5
Top with whipped cream, a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers, and a few mini marshmallows. For a final flourish, use a culinary torch to lightly toast the marshmallows.
Storage Options
If you have leftovers (which is rare!), pour them into a freezer-safe container and freeze. When you’re ready to enjoy, let it thaw slightly and blend again until it reaches the desired consistency. For best results, it’s recommended to consume these delights fresh.
Variations & Substitutions
Adapt this recipe to fit dietary preferences by using non-dairy milk or cream. Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra depth of flavor, or try a sprinkle of cinnamon for an autumnal twist. For a lighter version, opt for frozen yogurt instead of Ice Cream.
Serving Suggestions
This milkshake makes an excellent afternoon pick-me-up or a sweet end to a dinner party. Serve it in whimsical glasses with straws for an added touch of fun. It’s versatile enough for any occasion, from casual get-togethers to celebratory brunches.
