My love for dark chocolate isn’t a secret.  I boast about how much I love my chocolate 72% or higher but there is something soothing about creamy milk chocolate melting on my tongue.  Mini Cadbury eggs are my Easter addiction so why not toss a handful into this amazing malted milk chocolate ice cream?  Heavenly milk chocolate ice cream is just six ingredients away.

Let’s Make Homemade Malted Milk Chocolate Ice Cream

  1. In a heatproof bowl, whisk the yolks just to break them up.  Put the chopped milk chocolate in another medium heat proof bowl and set both aside.
  2. In a heavy saucepan, whisk together the cream, milk, malted milk powder, and salt.  Put over medium heat.  When mixture barely comes to a simmer, reduce the heat to medium. 
  3. Carefully scoop out about 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture, and add it to the egg yolks whisking constantly.  Repeat, adding another 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture to the yolks.  
  4. Return the egg yolk mixture back into the pan with the remaining cream mixture.
  5. Stir with a silicone or wooden spoon constantly until the mixture begins to thicken and coats the back of the spoon.  It should hold a clear path on the back of the spoon when you run your finger across the spoon.  
  6. Carefully pour the hot mixture over the chopped chocolate.  Allow to stand for a few minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.

  1. Once the chocolate has melted whisk the mixture until smooth.
  2. Pour chocolate mixture through a fine mesh strainer.
  3. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  4. Coarsely chop mini Cadbury eggs.  Set aside.
  5. Freeze in your ice cream machine according to the manufacturer’s directions.  Add the chopped chocolate eggs the last few minutes of freezing. 
  6. Serve immediately or transfer frozen ice cream into a chilled container and freeze until ready to serve.  

Helpful Tips:

  • I use Carnation brand Malted Milk Powder.  Any brand will work.
  • Chill chopped mini eggs before adding to ice cream.  Room temperature chocolate may cause the set ice cream to thin a bit.  If the chocolate is cold the ice cream will continue to firm up.
  • While the ice cream is churning put the container you’ll be using into the freezer.  This will chill the container so the ice cream doesn’t begin to melt when being transferred from ice cream freezer.  
  • If you have an ice cream maker like Cuisinart that requires the bowl to be placed in the freezer, make sure that the bowl is in the freezer for a good 24 hours.  
  • If you are using an ice cream maker that requires the bowl to be placed in the freezer, the bowl only stays frozen for so long.  So if your ice cream isn’t as solid as you would like after 20-25 minutes, remove from the bowl anyway and transfer it to a separate container and place in freezer.  After 20-15 minutes the bowl will begin thaw.  If you run it longer than that your ice cream will begin to thaw as well.  I note this because of experience.  After 30 minutes of running time, my ice cream was back to a liquid.  
  • Keep checking eBay for ice cream makers that don’t require freeze time.  I found an old Simac Gelato maker called “The ice cream boy”.  It has lasted me years and has been worth the $100 I paid for it.  I keep it on my countertop during the summer.  My grandkids will turn it on and pour in lemonade or other juices for a frozen treat.  It is so awesome.

Ingredients

Ice Cream Base

  • 6 egg yolks large
  • 6 ounces milk chocolate finely chopped (1 1/2 cups)
  • 1 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup 2% milk
  • 2/3 cup malted milk powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup Mini Cadbury eggs coarsely chopped

Instructions

Make the base

  1. In a medium heatproof bowl, whisk the yolks. Put the chopped milk chocolate in another medium heatproof bowl and set both bowls aside.

  2. IN a heavy saucepan, whisk together the cream, milk, malted milk powder, and salt and place the pan over medium heat.  When the mixture is to a low simmer, reduce the heat to low.  

  3. Carefully scoop out about 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture and add to the egg yolks whisking constantly.  Repeat, adding another 1/2 cup of the hot cream to the bowl of egg yolks.  Repeat until 1/2 of the cream mixture has been added to the egg yolks.  Return the egg yolk mixture back into the pan with the remaining cream mixture stirring with a silicone or wooden spoon constantly until the mixture begins to thicken and coats the back of the spoon.  It should hold a clear path on the back of the spoon when you run your finger across the spoon.  

  4. Pour the hot cream mixture into the bowl of chopped milk chocolate.  Whisk until smooth.

  5. Strain the base through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean container.  Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate base mixture at least 2 hours.  I like to chill overnight.

Freeze the Ice Cream

  1. Freeze in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions.  While the ice cream is churning, put the container you'll use to store the ice cream into the freezer.  During the last few minutes of churning add the chopped mini Cadbury eggs.  Serve right away or store in the freezer.

Recipe Notes

  • I use Carnation brand Malted Milk Powder.  Any brand will work.
  • Chill chopped mini eggs before adding to ice cream.  Room temperature chocolate may cause the set ice cream to thin a bit.  If the chocolate is cold the ice cream will continue to firm up.

    My mixture is so thick that my ice cream maker won’t churn it. Ever have this problem? Any idea what I did wrong? I’ve tried two different ice cream freezers thinking the first one was broken.

      I have never had that problem. The mixture shouldn’t be super thick. Are you using the type of freezer that requires freezing the drum? It should work. I’m perplexed. Can you send me a pic? simplysogood@hotmail.com

      Mine is super thick too. It’s like a thick custard. I’m not churning it until tonight, but I’m definitely surprised how thick it turned out. Hopefully it churns okay. If not, at least it will be a delicious custard.

        I think it should churn beautifully. You should get a thick creamy frozen custard. Please let me know how it turns out.

          It did turn out beautifully. I have never made a custard that thick for ice cream, but it churned with no problems. THe flavor was good. And my 3 year old, who had requested home made chocolate ice cream for her birthday was delighted.

This is a very quick version of Christmas Stollen This is a very quick version of Christmas Stollen flavored bread. The sweet dough is filled with dried fruit, candied orange and lemon peel, and almonds. 

The dough is wrapped around a ribbon of marzipan filling. Bake until golden then dust heavily with powder sugar. 

I like to toast a thick slice then scoop out the warm marzipan and spread it all over my toasted Stollen 🤤

Biscotti literally means “twice baked”, and do Biscotti literally means “twice baked”, and double baking is the secret to these crunchy Italian cookies. Their hard texture makes them perfect for dipping into your hot drink.
