Malted Milk Chocolate M&M Ice Cream

from Tracey's Culinary Adventures

Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • ¾ cup malted milk powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 6 large egg yolks
  • 6 ounces milk chocolate finely chopped
  • ¾ cup mini M&Ms

Instructions

  1. Place heavy cream, milk, malted milk powder, and the salt to a medium saucepan and set over medium heat. Allow the mixture to come to a simmer.
  2. Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks in a heatproof bowl until pale in color.
  3. Add the chopped milk chocolate to a second heatproof bowl and set aside.
  4. Slowly add the warm cream mixture to the egg yolks, whisking constantly. Pour back into the saucepan and set over medium-low heat. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon (about 170-175 F on an instant read thermometer).
  5. Pour the custard into the bowl containing the chopped chocolate and whisk until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Strain this mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into another bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled (overnight is good).
  6. Freeze in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In the last minute of churning add the mini M&Ms, letting them distribute throughout the ice cream. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.
