Method

  • step 1

    Tip the cream and milk into a saucepan, then bring to the boil. Beat the yolks and malt powder together in a bowl, pour over the hot cream, then continue beating until everything is combined. Tip the mixture back into the pan, then cook on a low heat for 3-4 mins, stirring continuously until the consistency of thin custard. Remove from the heat. Stir in the chocolate until melted, stir in the Irish cream liqueur, then chill.

  • step 2

    Once the custard has cooled, churn it in an ice-cream machine until frozen. If you don’t have a machine, place the custard in a bowl in the freezer. Freeze until the sides become icy, then beat with a whisk. Repeat the process 3 more times until you have smooth ice cream. Ice cream can now be frozen for up to 2 weeks. Serve in scoops with chocolate coated malt balls crumbled over, if you like.

I want to try this but don’t know where to get malt powder. Can I use the liquid malt that comes in a jar and I use for malt bread?

I used one tbs of whiskey instead of the Irish cream and 3 eggs rather than the suggested six. The texture of the ice cream was superb. However I found the taste/flavour distinctly underwhelming.Unless you have a nostalgic longing to recreate childhood memories of a malt drink in a frozen form I…

Just recently bought an ice cream maker and having great fun trying different recipes, but, my machine says not to give young children and the elderley, ice cream made with eggs. So many recipes include eggs, your thoughts please !

As you have to cook it on the stove after adding the eggs I would think the eggs are " cooked". That's my opinion as I don't like to use raw eggs either. But I'm not an eggspert! ( sorry ! :-) )
