If you love Whoppers or chocolate malted milk balls, you’re going to go wild for this Chocolate Malted Crunch Ice Cream. This old-fashioned chocolate malt ice cream gets a little extra boost of fun from chopped malted milk balls.

Chocolate Malted Crunch Ice Cream

For all those who are completely hooked on Thrifty’s chocolate malted crunch ice cream, we present this fantastic copycat recipe. This creamy, deeply chocolatey ice cream has a distinct toasted malt flavor. The crunch comes courtesy of a generous amount of crushed chocolate-covered malted milk ball candy.

The end result is an indulgent, intensely chocolatey ice cream with subtle caramel flavor and old school charm. The chocolate candy stirred into the extra special finished ice cream brings it a little modern flair.

The most popular question I get is whether it’s possible to make ice cream without a machine. The answer is YES. You can make ice cream without a machine. Find the full directions here!

Whopper Ice Cream

You’ll need the following ingredients to make this recipe:

  • heavy cream
  • Dutch process cocoa powder
  • malted milk powder
  • sugar
  • kosher salt
  • semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • milk
  • vanilla extract
  • chocolate-covered malted milk balls (i.e. Whoppers candy)

You can use either original or chocolate malted milk powder in this ice cream. Using chocolate malted milk powder will help emphasize the chocolate flavor of the ice cream.

Chocolate Malt Ice Cream

In a large saucepan, combine the cream, cocoa, malt powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk to combine and then heat over medium heat, stirring continually, until it comes together and begins to steam and simmer. (If you wish, you may increase the heat, but continue stirring non-stop. Do not step away at this point.)

Remove from the heat and immediately add the chocolate. Whisk until the chocolate has completely melted. Stir in the milk and vanilla. Cool and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until completely cold.

Process according to your machine’s instructions. While the ice cream is churning, slice in half or roughly chop the malted milk balls, leaving plenty of bigger pieces.

When the ice cream is almost ready, add the candy pieces and finish churning. Serve immediately for soft-serve ice cream or transfer to a freezer-safe storage container and freeze until ready to serve.

With over 70 ice cream recipes here to choose from, there’s sure to be an ice cream for everyone! If you’re new to making ice cream, the best and easiest vanilla ice cream is a great place to start.

These are my favorite inexpensive containers for storing ice cream. They’re perfect for gifting (who doesn’t love homemade ice cream?) storage, re-using, etc. I write the flavors on the lids with a sharpie and it washes off with dish soap.

I have more ice cream scoops than I can keep track of at this point and I definitely play favorites. This ice cream scoop does the best job ever of cutting through firm ice cream and still delivers a pretty scoop. It gets bonus points for being one of the least expensive scoops I own as well.
