📝 Ingredients:

• 2 cups heavy cream
  This gives the ice cream its rich, silky texture and luxurious mouthfeel.
• 1 cup whole milk
  Combines with the cream to balance richness and keep the texture light enough to scoop.
• 3/4 cup sugar
  Sweetens the base while helping to maintain smoothness once frozen.
• 1/2 cup malted milk powder
  Brings that classic malt-shop flavor—nutty, creamy, and slightly sweet.
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  Enhances all the flavors and adds a warm, aromatic note.
• 1/2 cup toffee bits
  Adds a buttery crunch and caramel-like flavor throughout.
• 1/2 cup crushed malted milk balls (like Whoppers or Maltesers)
  Creates texture and intensifies the malt flavor with every bite.

👩‍🍳 Directions:

1. Create the Ice Cream Base:

In a large mixing bowl, pour in the heavy cream and whole milk. Add in the sugar, malted milk powder, and vanilla extract.
Using a whisk, stir the mixture until the sugar and malt powder are fully dissolved and the base is smooth. This might take a couple of minutes—make sure there are no lumps of malt powder remaining.

2. Chill and Churn:

Once the mixture is well blended, pour it into your ice cream maker and churn according to your machine’s manufacturer instructions. This usually takes 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the model and the temperature of your base.

3. Add Crunchy Mix-ins:

When the ice cream is almost finished churning—about 5 minutes before it’s done—add in the toffee bits and crushed malted milk balls. Let the machine mix them in evenly, distributing that delightful crunch throughout the creamy base.

4. Freeze to Set:

Transfer the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container with a lid. Use a spatula to smooth the top, then cover and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until firm. For best texture, let it freeze overnight.

5. Scoop and Enjoy!

Once set, scoop into bowls or cones and serve immediately. Each bite is packed with creamy malt flavor, buttery toffee crunch, and a nostalgic twist that makes this ice cream truly special.

🍨 Serving Tips:

• Top with extra toffee bits or malt balls for added flair.
• Serve in a waffle cone or layered in a sundae with whipped cream and caramel drizzle.
• Pair with a warm brownie for the ultimate dessert combo!

✅ Pro Tips:

• Don’t skip chilling your base before churning—it helps the ice cream freeze faster and prevents ice crystals from forming.
• You can customize with chocolate chips, nuts, or a caramel swirl if you want to take it up a notch.
• Store your homemade ice cream in a shallow container for easier scooping and better freezing.
