Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, sugar, and dry malt in a large bowl.

- Add regular milk to fill the container to the line.
- Stir well to combine.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a cup of heavy cream to the mixture before freezing. If you don’t have dry malt, you can substitute with malted milk powder for a similar flavor. Ensure the mixture is well combined to avoid any lumps. For a fun twist, try adding crushed cookies or chocolate chips for added texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delightful chocolate malt ice cream in bowls or cones, topped with whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup for extra indulgence. It pairs beautifully with a slice of Martha'S Lemon Supreme Cake for a refreshing contrast. Consider using it as a filling for an ice cream sandwich with cookies or brownies.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer to prevent freezer burn. It can last up to two weeks, but for the best texture, consume it within a week. If the ice cream becomes too hard, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften before scooping.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular milk instead of evaporated milk?
While you can use regular milk, it may result in a less creamy texture. Evaporated milk adds richness and contributes to the ice cream's smooth consistency. If you're looking for a lighter option, you could try using a mix of regular milk and a bit of cream.
How long does it take for the ice cream to freeze?
The ice cream typically takes about 4 hours to freeze until firm. For the best results, freezing it overnight is recommended. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully and ensures a scoopable texture when you're ready to serve.
Can I add mix-ins like nuts or candy?
Absolutely! Adding mix-ins like chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or crushed candy bars can enhance the flavor and texture of your ice cream. Just fold them in after the mixture is well combined, before pouring it into the container to freeze.
