Why You’ll Love This Recipe!

The malted milk powder gives this ice cream such good flavor and takes it to a whole new level! If you are a malt fan, you will love it. If you don’t know whether you like malt or not – try it!

The flavor stands alone without the malted milk balls but I love the extra flavor and crunchy texture they give the ice cream!

If you have never had malted milk ice cream you must try this one!!

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will homemade ice cream last in the freezer?

Stored in an airtight, insulated ice cream container it will last for a couple of weeks.

Do I have to use an ice cream maker?

This homemade ice cream recipe is designed to be made in an ice cream maker and is not meant to be a no churn ice cream.

What kind of ice cream maker do you use?

I use a Cuisinart 2 qt. ice cream maker. I then transfer the ice cream into this insulated ice cream container to let the ice cream harden up.

    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!
