Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Yield Makes 1 1/2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 cups whole milk
8 large egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups malted milk powder
4 ounces melted milk chocolate

Steps:

  • Put cream and milk into a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Heat the mixture until hot (do not let simmer), about 2 minutes. Remove mixture from heat; cover, and let stand 30 minutes.
  • Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Put yolks, sugar, and salt into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on high speed until yolk mixture has tripled in volume and can hold a ribbon on surface for 2 seconds, about 3 minutes.
  • Reduce speed to medium. Ladle 1 cup cream mixture in a slow stream into yolk mixture to temper it. Add another cup cream mixture; beat to combine. Transfer mixture to saucepan; cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until it is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon and an instant-read thermometer registers 180 degrees; 5 to 7 minutes.Stir 1 1/4 cups malted milk powder plus 4 ounces melted milk chocolate into custard.
  • Pour custard through a medium-mesh sieve into a bowl set in ice-water bath. Let cool completely, stirring often. Stir 1 cup chopped malted milk balls into churned ice cream.
  • Freeze custard in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Serve immediately, or freeze in an airtight plastic container until ready to serve. If frozen for more than 4 hours, let ice cream stand at room temperature 15 to 20 minutes before serving.

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.

Yield Makes about 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup whole milk, divided
1/2 cup malted milk powder
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup chopped malted milk balls

Steps:

  • Combine the cream, 1/2 cup milk, malted milk powder, sugar, cocoa powder, corn syrup, and salt in a saucepan. Whisk well to dissolve the malt powder and cocoa.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to steam; watch it carefully and make sure it does not come to a boil.
  • While the mixture heats, combine the remaining milk, milk powder, cornstarch, and vanilla extract in a small bowl, and stir until smooth and both of the powders have dissolved.
  • Add the cornstarch mixture to the pan, and bring to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly. Whisk the mixture until smooth and simmer over very low heat, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes, or until thickened. If the mixture is lumpy, strain it through a sieve.
  • Transfer the hot liquid to a storage container, and press a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate the mixture uncovered until it is completely chilled (below 40°F).
  • Freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer the soft ice cream to a chilled mixing bowl and fold in the chopped malted milk balls.
  • Serve immediately for a soft ice cream, or transfer the mixture to an airtight storage container and freeze until hard. Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving if frozen solid.

MALTED VANILLA ICE CREAM



Malted Vanilla Ice Cream image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield about 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons (2 envelopes) unflavored gelatin
5 cups milk
1 1/3 cups malted milk powder (7 ounces by weight)
5 cups heavy cream
2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • To make the ice cream base: Stir the gelatin into 1/2 cup of cold water in a small bowl; Set the mixture aside (this will bloom into a semi-solid state).
  • Heat 2 cups of the milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. When the milk begins to steam remove it from the heat. And stir in the gelatin. Stir until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
  • Put the malted milk powder into a blender. Add 2 cups of the cold milk. Blend well, stopping to scrape down the sides with a spatula. (If there's no blender handy, just beat the malted milk well into the milk until there are no lumps).
  • Pour the malted milk mixture into the ice cream maker. Add the heavy cream and stir. Stirring constantly, mix in the hot milk and gelatin mixture. Add the remaining milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt and stir until the sugar dissolves.
  • To freeze the ice cream: Assemble the dasher, position the can lid, put the can in the tub and secure the crank assembly. Turn the crank to make sure everything is put together correctly.
  • Find the little hole in the side of the tub near the top of the can. Make sure that the hole is open. Drop about 2 cups of crushed ice into the tub. Sprinkle the ice with 1/2 cup rock salt, evenly covering it. Repeat this process. Now someone should begin turning the crank, which remain in motion until the ice cream is frozen.
  • Continue to add ice and salt in the proportion above until you have reached the top level of the can and continue cranking. In about 20 minutes the crank will become very difficult to turn. This indicates that the ice cream is done.
  • Remove the crank assembly. Pull the can up a bit in the tub. Wipe the ice and salt from the lid and the top of the can. Remove the lid. Pull up the dasher and scrape it off with a rubber spatula. Most people dig in right at this point and enjoy the ice cream even though it is still a little soft. Others like to remove the can and put it in a freezer (or put the ice cream into smaller containers) and harden the ice cream for a few hours before eating.

MALTED MILK ICE CREAM



Malted Milk Ice Cream image

Categories     Chill

Yield makes about 1 1/2 quarts (1 1/2 liter)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup (250 ml) half-and-half
3/4 cup (150 g) sugar
Pinch of salt
2 cups (500 ml) heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup (90 g) malt powder
6 large egg yolks
2 cups (350 g) malted milk balls, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Warm the half-and-half, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan. In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, vanilla, and malt powder and set a mesh strainer on top.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly pour the warm mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly, then scrape the warmed egg yolks back into the saucepan.
  • Stir the mixture constantly over medium heat with a heatproof spatula, scraping the bottom as you stir, until the mixture thickens and coats the spatula. Pour the custard through the strainer and whisk it into the malted milk mixture. Stir until cool over an ice bath.
  • Chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator, then freeze it in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. As you remove the ice cream from the machine, fold in the chopped malted milk balls.
  • Perfect Pairing
  • Add crumbled Chewy-Dense Brownies (page 221) or Dark Chocolate Truffles (page 211) for Chocolate-Malted Milk Ice Cream.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality malted milk balls. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the ice cream.
  • Don't overbeat the ice cream base. Overbeating can make the ice cream grainy.
  • Chill the ice cream base thoroughly before churning. This will help the ice cream freeze faster and smoother.
  • Churn the ice cream until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. This will make it easier to scoop and serve.
  • Store the ice cream in the freezer for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the ice cream to firm up.
