Best Malted Milk Ice Cream Recipes

MALTED VANILLA ICE CREAM WITH PEANUT BRITTLE AND MILK CHOCOLATE PIECES

Steps:

• Make the base
• 1. In a medium heatproof bowl, whisk the yolks just to break them up, then whisk in the malted milk powder. Set aside.
• 2. In a heavy nonreactive saucepan, stir together the cream, milk, sugar, and salt and put the pan over medium-high heat. When the mixture approaches a bare simmer, reduce the heat to medium.
• 3. Carefully scoop out about 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture and, whisking the eggs constantly, add the cream to the bowl with the egg yolks. Repeat, adding another 1/2 cup of the hot cream to the bowl with the yolks. Using a heatproof rubber spatula, stir the cream in the saucepan as you slowly pour the egg-and-cream mixture from the bowl into the pan.
• 4. Cook the mixture carefully over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it is thickened, coats the back of a spatula, and holds a clear path when you run your finger across the spatula, 1 to 2 minutes longer.
• 5. Strain the base through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean container. Set the container into an ice-water bath, wash your spatula, and use it to stir the base occasionally until it is cool. Remove the container from the ice-water bath, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate the base for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Freeze the ice cream
• 6. Add the vanilla to the chilled base and stir until blended.
• 7. Freeze in your ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions and put the container you'll use to store the ice cream into the freezer. Add the milk chocolate and the peanut brittle in the last minute or so of churning, or fold them in by hand after the ice cream comes out of the machine. Enjoy right away or, for a firmer ice cream, transfer to a container and freeze for at least 4 hours.

MALTED MILK FUDGE RIPPLE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups/470 milliliters heavy cream, the malt powder and the vanilla. Set a mesh strainer over the bowl. Set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, heat remaining 1/2 cup/120 milliliters heavy cream, the milk, the sugar, the malt syrup (if using) and the salt over medium heat.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly, then scrape the warmed yolk-milk mixture back into the saucepan.
• Stir the mixture constantly over medium heat with a wooden spoon or heatproof plastic spatula, scraping the bottom as you stir, until mixture thickens and coats the spatula, about 5 minutes. Pour the custard through the strainer into the malted milk-cream mixture and whisk well. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then chill mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator, at least 4 hours.
• Meanwhile, prepare the fudge: Whisk together sugar, malt syrup, cocoa powder, salt and 1/2 cup/125 milliliters water in a medium saucepan. Place over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture begins to bubble at the edges.
• Continue to whisk until it just comes to a low boil. Cook for 1 minute, whisking frequently. Remove from the heat, stir in the vanilla and let cool. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, covered, before using. Fudge can be made up to 1 week ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
• Freeze the ice cream in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• To create the ripple effect, dollop large spoonfuls of fudge ripple into your ice cream storage container. Top with a layer of freshly churned ice cream, then another layer of fudge. Repeat until all of the fudge and ice cream are layered. (If you have any fudge left over, serve it on top of the ice cream.) Give the mixture a quick stir to swirl together the fudge and ice cream, but don't overdo it. You're looking for marbling. Freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
• Serve ice cream topped by dollops of whipped cream or crème fraîche, crushed malted milk balls or malted milk powder, and any leftover chocolate fudge.
