Categories     dessert

Time 7h50m

Yield 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

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

Steps:

  • Put a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan in the freezer to get cold.
  • Whisk the milk, egg yolks, sugar, malted milk powder and cocoa powder together in a medium bowl.
  • Put the chocolate chips in a large bowl.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

ICE CREAM BALLS

My mom used to make these - not sure where she got the recipe. Now I make them for my own family and they are a favorite. I've always followed the recipe as is, but I'm sure you could experiment with different flavors of ice cream. We have tried different toppings but the caramel seems to be the perfect compliment.

Time 30m

Yield 16 balls

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream
1 cup crushed graham cracker
1/4 cup peanut butter
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
caramel ice cream topping

Steps:

  • Mix graham cracker crumbs, peanut butter, sugar & cinnamon.
  • Make balls out of the ice cream and roll in dry mixture.
  • Freeze.
  • Serve with caramel topping.
  • -To make the balls: Cut a square 1/2 gallon of ice cream into 4 equal slices. Then cut each slice into quarters. Mold into a ball with your hands and by rolling it in the dry mixture. Only work with 1-2 "slices" at a time or the rest will melt too much while sitting out. It will also melt quicker if you take too much time to form the balls.
