MALTED MILK FUDGE RIPPLE ICE CREAM
If you love the flavor of malted milk, you'll adore this ultra-creamy ice cream, which tastes like a chocolate malted in solid form. To achieve the most intense flavor, seek out the barley malt syrup (available in health food stores), which deepens the malted milk powder whisked into the ice cream base. Be gentle when folding in the fudge ripple; you want the fudge to stay in distinct pockets and not disappear into the ice cream base. Or skip the rippling altogether and serve the fudge as a sauce on top of the ice cream.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups/470 milliliters heavy cream, the malt powder and the vanilla. Set a mesh strainer over the bowl. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, heat remaining 1/2 cup/120 milliliters heavy cream, the milk, the sugar, the malt syrup (if using) and the salt over medium heat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly, then scrape the warmed yolk-milk mixture back into the saucepan.
- Stir the mixture constantly over medium heat with a wooden spoon or heatproof plastic spatula, scraping the bottom as you stir, until mixture thickens and coats the spatula, about 5 minutes. Pour the custard through the strainer into the malted milk-cream mixture and whisk well. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then chill mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator, at least 4 hours.
- Meanwhile, prepare the fudge: Whisk together sugar, malt syrup, cocoa powder, salt and 1/2 cup/125 milliliters water in a medium saucepan. Place over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture begins to bubble at the edges.
- Continue to whisk until it just comes to a low boil. Cook for 1 minute, whisking frequently. Remove from the heat, stir in the vanilla and let cool. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, covered, before using. Fudge can be made up to 1 week ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
- Freeze the ice cream in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- To create the ripple effect, dollop large spoonfuls of fudge ripple into your ice cream storage container. Top with a layer of freshly churned ice cream, then another layer of fudge. Repeat until all of the fudge and ice cream are layered. (If you have any fudge left over, serve it on top of the ice cream.) Give the mixture a quick stir to swirl together the fudge and ice cream, but don't overdo it. You're looking for marbling. Freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Serve ice cream topped by dollops of whipped cream or crème fraîche, crushed malted milk balls or malted milk powder, and any leftover chocolate fudge.

Steps:
- Grease a 9-by-13-inch pan lightly with cooking spray and then line it with parchment so that the paper hangs over all the sides (this will allow you to remove the fudge from the pan).
- Combine the sugar, butter, cream, vanilla and salt in a large saucepot over high heat. Bring to a boil and then cook until the mixture reaches 240 degrees F on a candy thermometer, about 4 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the milk chocolate and white chocolate chips, marshmallow cream and malted milk powder. With the speed set to low, slowly pour in the boiling sugar mixture and paddle until well combined.
- Pour the fudge into the prepared pan; tap the pan to even out the fudge. Evenly sprinkle the broken malted milk balls over the top of the fudge and lightly press them down into the fudge.
- Chill the fudge until completely cooled, about 3 hours. Remove the fudge from the pan and cut it into squares.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream. Store any remaining fudge in an airtight container.
Tips:
- Measure accurately: Accurate measurements are crucial for successful fudge making. Use a kitchen scale for precise measurements of ingredients.
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: This helps distribute heat evenly and prevents scorching.
- Cook the fudge mixture to the correct temperature: Use a candy thermometer to ensure the mixture reaches the desired temperature.
- Stir constantly: Stirring helps prevent sugar crystals from forming and ensures a smooth texture.
- Cool the fudge properly: Allow the fudge to cool completely before cutting and serving. This helps it set properly and prevents crumbling.
- Store the fudge correctly: Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
Conclusion:
With its rich, creamy texture and nostalgic flavor, malted milk fudge is a beloved treat that is sure to bring back fond memories. By following the tips above and using high-quality ingredients, you can easily create this classic candy at home.
