How to Make Vanilla Malted Ice Cream

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups whole milk and 1/2 cup malted milk powder. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the malt powder is completely dissolved and the mixture begins to simmer.
  2. Remove from heat.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large egg yolks and 3/4 cup granulated sugar until pale, thick, and ribbon-like (about 5 minutes).
  4. Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
  5. Return the combined mixture to the saucepan over the lowest heat setting. Whisk constantly and continuously scrape the bottom of the pan to prevent scorching.
  6. Cook, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Do not boil.
  7. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl. This removes any lumps or cooked egg bits.
  8. Let the custard cool completely, stirring occasionally, to prevent a skin from forming (about 10-15 minutes).
  9. Stir in 2 cups heavy cream and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
  10. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the custard to fully chill.
  11. Churn the chilled custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once churned, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to harden further.
