What You’ll Need
- ½ cup (4 fl oz/120 ml) whole milk (for creaminess; substitute with almond milk for a dairy-free option)
- 2 tablespoons malt powder (adds a rich, malty flavor; can use chocolate malt powder for extra chocolatey goodness)
- 6 scoops (15 oz/425 g) chocolate ice cream (use high-quality ice cream for the best results)
- Whipped cream (for garnish; optional but recommended for a classic touch)
How to Make It
- Prepare the blender: Add the milk first, followed by the malt powder, and then the chocolate ice cream.
- Blend: Blend on high speed for about 2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Serve: Pour the mixture into a tall glass. Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately with a straw for the perfect sipping experience!
Whipped Cream & Topping Ideas
Take your Creamy & Classic Chocolate Malt to the next level with fun toppings! Try adding a drizzle of chocolate syrup or a sprinkle of crushed malt balls for extra texture. For a nutty twist, add a handful of chopped toasted almonds or a dollop of peanut butter before blending.
Perfect Pairings for Your Malt
This rich and creamy malt pairs wonderfully with a warm chocolate chip cookie or a slice of classic banana bread. For a nostalgic treat, serve it alongside a grilled cheese sandwich or a mini burger slider for a retro diner vibe.
Time-Saving Tips for Busy Days
Pre-measure your ingredients the night before to make this recipe even quicker. Keep your malt powder and ice cream ready to go in the fridge and freezer. If you’re in a rush, skip the whipped cream garnish—it’s still delicious without it!
Blender Tips for the Smoothest Malt
For the creamiest texture, use a high-powered blender and blend on high speed for at least 2 minutes. If your blender struggles with thick mixtures, add a splash more milk to help it along. Always add the liquid first to prevent clumping and ensure smooth blending.
Recipe Variations to Try
Switch up the flavor by using vanilla ice cream instead of chocolate for a lighter malt. For a boozy twist, add a splash of Baileys or Kahlúa. If you’re feeling adventurous, blend in a handful of fresh strawberries for a fruity chocolate combo.
