Ingredients List

- 1/4 cup malted milk powder
- 1–2 tablespoons sugar (optional, to taste)
Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients and making sure they are cold. Place the vanilla ice cream, whole milk, and malted milk powder on your counter. If you’re adding any optional ingredients like chocolate syrup or peanut butter, have them ready as well.
- Measure the Ice Cream: Using an ice cream scoop, measure out 2 cups of vanilla ice cream. Add the ice cream to your blender.
- Add the Milk and Malted Milk Powder: Pour 1/2 cup of whole milk into the blender with the ice cream. Then, add 1/4 cup of malted milk powder. If you prefer a sweeter shake, you can also add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar at this point.
- Blend Until Smooth: Place the lid on the blender and blend on medium-high speed until the ingredients are fully combined and the milkshake is smooth and creamy. This should take about 20-30 seconds. If the shake is too thick, you can add a little more milk and blend again until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Taste and Adjust: After blending, taste the milkshake. If you want a stronger malt flavor, add a little more malted milk powder and blend again. If the shake isn’t sweet enough, you can add more sugar or a drizzle of chocolate syrup and blend until smooth.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the malt milkshake into tall, chilled glasses. If desired, top with whipped cream, a maraschino cherry, and sprinkles for a classic presentation. Serve with a straw and a spoon, and enjoy your delicious, nostalgic treat.
Notes
- Garnish Creatively: Elevate your malt milkshake by adding fun and creative garnishes. Whipped cream, sprinkles, maraschino cherries, chocolate shavings, or even a drizzle of caramel or chocolate syrup can make your milkshake look as good as it tastes.
- Layer for a Visual Treat: For a visually appealing milkshake, layer the ingredients. For example, pour a little chocolate or strawberry syrup into the glass before adding the shake. You can also layer different flavors of milkshake in the same glass for a fun, multi-colored treat.
- Chill Everything: To ensure your milkshake stays cold longer, chill not only the ingredients but also your glassware and blender jar before making the milkshake. This will help maintain the shake’s texture and prevent it from melting too quickly.
