MALTED MILK FUDGE RIPPLE ICE CREAM

If you love the flavor of malted milk, you'll adore this ultra-creamy ice cream, which tastes like a chocolate malted in solid form. To achieve the most intense flavor, seek out the barley malt syrup (available in health food stores), which deepens the malted milk powder whisked into the ice cream base. Be gentle when folding in the fudge ripple; you want the fudge to stay in distinct pockets and not disappear into the ice cream base. Or skip the rippling altogether and serve the fudge as a sauce on top of the ice cream.

Time 7h35m

Yield 1 1/2 quarts ice cream

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 1/2 cups/590 milliliters heavy cream
2/3 cup/90 grams malted milk powder
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup/120 milliliters whole milk
1/2 cup/100 grams light brown sugar
2 tablespoons/30 milliliters barley malt syrup (optional)
Pinch salt
6 large egg yolks
1/2 cup/100 grams sugar
1/3 cup/80 milliliters barley malt syrup (or substitute light or dark corn syrup)
6 tablespoons/50 grams unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
Pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whipped cream or crème fraîche
Crushed malted milk balls or more malted milk powder

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.

MALTED MILK FUDGE

Categories     dessert

Time 3h30m

Yield 15 to 20 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
3 cups sugar
1 cup butter
1 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Pinch salt
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup white chocolate chips
One 7-ounce jar marshmallow cream, such as Fluff
1/4 cup malted milk powder, such as Ovaltine
1 cup malted milk balls, such as Whoppers, broken into pieces
1 pint vanilla ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Grease a 9-by-13-inch pan lightly with cooking spray and then line it with parchment so that the paper hangs over all the sides (this will allow you to remove the fudge from the pan).
  • Combine the sugar, butter, cream, vanilla and salt in a large saucepot over high heat. Bring to a boil and then cook until the mixture reaches 240 degrees F on a candy thermometer, about 4 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the milk chocolate and white chocolate chips, marshmallow cream and malted milk powder. With the speed set to low, slowly pour in the boiling sugar mixture and paddle until well combined.
  • Pour the fudge into the prepared pan; tap the pan to even out the fudge. Evenly sprinkle the broken malted milk balls over the top of the fudge and lightly press them down into the fudge.
  • Chill the fudge until completely cooled, about 3 hours. Remove the fudge from the pan and cut it into squares.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream. Store any remaining fudge in an airtight container.

Tips:

  • To make sure your fudge has the perfect texture, use a candy thermometer to measure the temperature of the sugar mixture. The mixture should reach 234°F (112°C) for soft fudge, 236°F (113°C) for medium fudge, and 238°F (114°C) for firm fudge.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the sugar mixture by dropping a small amount into cold water. If the mixture forms a soft ball that holds its shape, it has reached the soft-ball stage, which is the correct temperature for fudge.
  • To prevent the fudge from crystallizing, stir it constantly while it is cooling.
  • For a smoother fudge, strain the sugar mixture through a fine-mesh strainer before cooking it.
  • To add flavor to your fudge, stir in extracts, such as vanilla, almond, or peppermint, or chopped nuts or dried fruit.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks.

Conclusion:

With careful attention to detail and a little bit of patience, you can easily make delicious and creamy malted milk fudge at home. This classic candy is perfect for any occasion, and it makes a great gift for friends and family. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, try making a batch of malted milk fudge.
