Yield: 6 cups

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup whole milk
  2. 4 large egg yolks
  3. 1/2 cup sugar
  4. 1/2 cup malted milk powder
  5. 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  6. 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  7. 2 cups heavy cream
  8. 5 ounces chocolate-covered malt balls (about 1 cup), coarsely crushed
  9. 1 cup chocolate syrup

Instructions

  1. Put a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan in the freezer to get cold.
  2. Whisk the milk, egg yolks, sugar, malted milk powder and cocoa powder together in a medium bowl.
  3. Put the chocolate chips in a large bowl.
  4. Put the cream in a medium saucepan and heat over medium-high heat until it just starts to simmer. Slowly pour about half of the cream into the bowl with the milk/egg mixture, whisking constantly. Pour all of the liquid from the bowl back into the saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, until the custard reaches 160 degrees F, 2 to 3 minutes.
  5. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into the bowl with the chocolate chips. Let stand 5 minutes, then stir until the chocolate is melted and thoroughly combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until very cold, at least 4 hours.
  6. Churn the custard in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. When the ice cream is ready, add the crushed malt balls and continue to churn until well distributed.
  7. Spoon about a third of the ice cream into the cold loaf pan and spread evenly with a spatula. Drizzle in half of the chocolate syrup. Add another third of the ice cream, then smooth and drizzle with the remaining syrup. Smooth the remaining ice cream on top, then cover with plastic and freeze until firm, 2 to 3 hours.

Happy Memorial Day from chocolate malted ice cream heaven
It is not overly sweet. Went together easily & froze beautifully. One switch up, I did add a smidge of Creme de Cocao. Sometimes you need to guild the lily, a little.

Planned to make this exactly as the directions, but was low on cream so I was only able to use one cup of cream and had to use 2% milk for the remainder.  It was still so DELICIOUS and had a wonderful flavor with the malted milk powder!!  Highly recommend this.

I don’t generally write reviews, but this was so good, it motivated me to do so.  If you are a fan of chocolate malt, this is incredible.  My wife kept saying “Oh my gosh, this is incredible”.  Didn’t alter anything and it was in fact incredible,  we each had two scoops and 1-1.5 would do because it so rich and satisfying.  I call that good news because it means it will last us a little longer before we run out.  Thank you Valerie!  You knocked it out of the park on this one!
