Ingredients
Milkshake Base
- ½ to ¾ cup milk (any percentage, divided)
- ¼ cup malted milk powder
- 1 ½ cup vanilla ice cream (about 3 scoops)
- 3 tablespoons chocolate syrup or fudge sauce
Toppings (Optional)
- Whipped cream
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Mix malted milk powder and milk: In your blender, combine ½ cup of the milk with the malted milk powder. Pulse the blender 3-5 times until the powder is mostly incorporated into the milk, creating a smooth malted base.
- Add ice cream and chocolate syrup: Add the vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup or fudge sauce to the blender. Blend all ingredients together until fully combined and creamy.
- Adjust thickness: Use a spoon to stir the milkshake. If it appears too thick, pour in the remaining ¼ cup milk and blend or stir until the desired consistency is achieved.
- Serve: Pour the malted milkshake into glasses. Top with whipped cream and sprinkles if desired, then serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- You can use any percentage milk — whole, skim, or even plant-based milk if desired.
- Adjust the amount of milk to control the thickness of the shake.
- Substitute chocolate syrup with fudge sauce or your favorite flavoring for variety.
- For a more intense malt flavor, increase malted milk powder slightly but avoid overdoing it to maintain smoothness.
- This recipe yields approximately 2 servings.
