I am always looking for an excuse to make Malted Milk Ball Ice Cream. Delicious and creamy, with the perfect malted ice cream flavor.
I am a big malt fan and love it in my rice krispie treats, my cookies and even my hot chocolate!
Here is the original post from July, 2008 when I still had kids at home!
We are an ice cream loving family.
Growing up there was always a freezer FULL of ice cream, in fact at one time we had a freezer in the garage totally dedicated to ice cream. That was the year my sister worked at Baskin Robbins and they let them bring home all their mistakes – fortunately she made a lot of mistakes!
Monday night I dug out the countertop Cuisinart ice cream maker to celebrate the arrival of summer and to make treats for family night (a regular Monday night occurrence at our house). We had a short lesson and an activity which was weeding the vegetable garden for 30 minutes. Believe me the kids were thrilled!
The best part of family night though is the treats! I was in charge this week.
I have been on a malted milk ball kick recently.
My favorite treat has been a bowl of Haagen Daz vanilla ice cream with crushed up Whoppers on top – yum! So I decided to combine the two and make this ice cream. I used my basic vanilla ice cream recipe and my 2 qt. Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker and went from there. Adding in Whoppers and malted milk powder. Put it on top of a waffle cone and yum!
I like my ice cream a little harder so I put the container full of ice cream into the freezer for a while for it to firm up after the machine shuts off.
So if you don’t have an ice cream maker but want to give my Malted Milk Ball Ice Cream a try just buy yourself a pint of Haagen Daz vanilla and crush up a few Whoppers and you are good to go! It won’t be quite as “malty” but it’s a close second. But you really should get yourself an ice cream maker. This is my favorite one and the one I use.

I have always loved homemade icecream! The most recent star prize that I chose (actually I let my 6 year old daughter Natalie choose this time!) is a soft serve icecream machine! It just arrived this week and we are SO excited to give it a try. I think I’ll do the same as you, Leigh Anne… try it out for a Monday night FHE!

Yum! What a great recipe. There’s nothing better than homemade ice cream on a hot summer day!! This one looks so yummy. And I love the idea of having whoppers added on top. Too wonderful.
Did I miss your favorite book that you read every summer at the beach house?? I’ve been ever so curious to hear what it is.
Have fun, and I think I’ll go add some ingredients to this weeks grocery list. . . I envision some yummy treats in my future! Renee

Oooh, that looks yummy! And I am jealous of your 90 degree days. It was about 111 here yesterday and I heard they are predicting 114 for today. Yuck! We might just live on ice cream & popsicles!
