Jump to Recipe

The best chocolate malt is so thick and creamy that you can stand up a spoon in the glass. Imagine taking that same milkshake and churning it into the creamiest ice cream, with malted milk balls mixed in for crunch.

Chocolate Malt Ice Cream

  • Yield: 6 cups
Print Recipe

Ingredients

Ice Cream

  • 2 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 4 cups half-and-half, divided
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
  • 1/2 cup malted milk powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp vodka
  • 1 cup malted milk balls, chopped and frozen for 10 minutes

Dipped Cones

  • 1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tsp coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup malted milk balls, crushed

Instructions

  1. Whisk together cornstarch and 1/4 cup half-and-half in a small bowl; set aside. Combine remaining half-and-half, sugar, cocoa, malted milk powder, vanilla, salt, and vodka in a heavy saucepan over medium heat, whisking to dissolve cocoa. Whisk in reserved cornstarch mixture and bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly. Cook until mixture resembles a thick milk shake and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and cover with plastic wrap, pressing directly on the surface of the mixture. Cool to room temperature, then chill for 6 hours in the refrigerator.
  2. Pour chilled ice cream mixture into frozen cylinder of ice cream maker; freeze according to manufacturer’s instructions. Add frozen malt balls in the final minute of freezing. Spoon mixture into a freezer-safe container and place in the freezer until firm.
  3. For the dipped cones, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 30 seconds. Remove and stir. Continue microwaving and stirring in 15 second intervals until melted and smooth. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Dip cones into chocolate and sprinkle with crushed malted milk balls; place on baking sheet and freeze until set.

Notes

The vodka prevents the ice cream from freezing too firmly.

  17. I may just break down and buy some malted milk balls (I have no willpower when they’re in sight!). Between your brownies and ice cream, you’ve worn me down 😉 Love them both!
