Many years ago, I worked in an ice cream shop that made all of its ice cream. White Dream was one of our signature flavors. It is a vanilla base with white chocolate chips and mini marshmallows. I am not sure the exact recipe, but this is close. I use my Vanilla Bean Ice Cream as a base for all of my flavors, and it makes such a smooth, creamy, and rich base. I love it. I cannot wait to make some raspberry and peach when we settle down and get into our new house.
I am typing this post from Denver, Colorado. We have had a wonderful trip so far. Today we spent the day with good friends and toured the Coors Brewery. Tomorrow, we are going to make a big push and get to our final destination in Kansas. We will not be in a house for awhile, but it will be nice to stay in the same place for a few days. We have gotten really good at packing and unpacking the car. We have had a great trip, but we are getting really tired. So far, we have been to Salt Lake City, Cheyenne, Estes Park, Golden, and Denver. The kids get medals for how good they have been. They have been troupers. I am off to bed, I’ll see you in Kansas.
3/4 cup sugar
2 Tablespoons cornstarch
pinch salt
1 cup whole milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 egg yolk
1 vanilla bean, scraped and seeded (or 2 teaspoons vanilla)
1 cup mini marshmallows
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, salt, and vanilla bean in a large saucepan.
Gradually add the milk and cream. Cook the mixture over medium to medium high heat for about 10 to 15 minutes or until the mixture comes to a bubble. It will have thickened and be like a loose pudding.
In another bowl, whisk the egg yolk and vanilla extract if you are using it.
Very, very slowly pour the cream mixture over the egg yolk. Whisk well.
Pour the mixture through a sieve or a strainer. Cover and chill the mixture for 8 hours or overnight.
Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker. Freeze according to the machine’s instructions. Add the marshmallows and white chocolate chips a few minutes before the ice cream is finished.
Pour the ice cream into a container and continue to freeze in the freezer.
Scoop the ice cream into cones or a bowl.
Here is a tip for making cones for kids: Put a marshmallow into the bottom of the cone. It will help prevent the ice cream from dripping out the bottom.
Share with a friend. Or two.

I am Bree. I love to cook. Even more than I love to take pictures.
what an awesome ice cream combo!!
a perfect summer treat!
two of my favorite things together! White chocolate and marshmallows.
I have never heard of this before but it sounds incredible, and so fun! It would be a great accompaniment for any dessert as well as own it’s own. I will bookmark this one! Thanks, Chris
I hope that you do Chris.
Awesome! Welcome to KS! What part are you moving too? I live in Southwestern KS, not much out here but we love it!
We are moving to Fort Leavenworth. So far, so good!
Yum! This ice cream looks so good! I am so glad you guys are having fun on your trip. What an adventure!
thanks Corks!
We drove across the states from NC to CA when my brother was 6. We were in a Uhall that fit 3 people, but there were 4 of us, so we had my brother spend most of his time sleeping on the floor so that we could be more comfortable.
It was insane. I will never forget that trip, though, and I hope your kids don’t forget this one! 
Your poor brother! We had a great time and am glad that we got to see that part of the country.
I’ve never heard of the marshmallow trick! What a great idea!!! The ice cream looks heavenly… It’s finally starting to warm up in Sacramento, so ice cream actually sounds good now. We’re finally into the 80′s – - woo hoo!!! As you recall we’ve had
a long winter here, so we are all happy to greet the sun!!!
P.S. I love to see pics of the kids… They are precious!!!
Thanks, it helps with the dripping. It sounds like a trip to Vic’s is in order! I love Vic’s, it reminds me of the ice cream place that I worked at.
Where in KS are you moving too? I am from Lawrence. Its a great state full of unpredictable weather.
We are in Fort Leavenworth, KS. I am loving it so far. Unpredictable weather and all.
I’m glad you are enjoying it! I have a friend who moved back after 10 years in LA and she is having a hard time adjusting. I’m super happy you got to try out some BBQ. Its great! Welcome to your new home!
Thank you Samantha. Adjustments are hard, I think attitude had a lot to do with how well a move goes.
I can’t wait to go to the store to get the ingredients I need for this recipe! It sounds so good. Glad your trip is going well. Thanks for a great post!
you are welcome Teri! I love this ice cream.
Great juxtaposition!

it would, that would be good. Thank you Marissa! It was a great trip.
Hi Bree! I recently discovered your blog and I am OBSESSED! I keep noticing how cool your whisk is, and now I really want one too! Where did you get your whisk?
Thank you Mariya! I think that it came from Ikea, but I am not positive. I know that it was like $3.
I just love your site! Thank you:) and God Bless you and your new home!
Thank you Jacqueline!
Um…I could top this ice cream with peanut butter sauce and only eat that for the rest of my life. I never would have dreamed up the white chocolate-marshmallow combo, what a great idea!

Peanut butter would be great here. Fluffer Nutter Ice Cream, you might be onto something.
Do you think I could melt the white chocolate and cut the marshmallows in smaller pieces? It’s a textural thing for the DH. Would the flavor be any less beautiful?
I am extremely jealous of your move…I would give my left pinkie to get out of Illinois…
If you melt the chocolate, make sure that that it is at least room temperature before you add it to the mix. And yes about the marshmallows. It would not be any less beautiful.
