Malted Milk Fudge Recipes

Steps:

• Place malted milk balls in resealable plastic food-storage bag.
• Tap with rolling pin or meat mallet until coarsely crushed.
• Reserve 1/3 cup.
• Mix remaining crushed malted milk balls and the whipped topping.
• Arrange ice-cream sandwiches in bottom of rectangular pan, 13x9x2 inches, cutting sandwiches if necessary to cover bottom of pan.
• Spread whipped topping mixture over ice-cream sandwiches.
• Sprinkle with reserved crushed malted milk balls.
• Cover and freeze 2 to 3 hours or until firm.
• For serving, cut into 4 rows by 3 rows.
• Top with fudge sauce.
• Note:.
• We have found that frozen malted milk balls crush more easily than when crushed at room temperature.

Steps:

• Frosting:.
• Melt one 12-ounce package of semisweet chocolate chips in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly.
• Set aside to cool.
• Beat whipping cream and malted milk powder in electric mixer on high until stiff but not dry, about 2 minutes; refrigerate about 30 minutes.
• Whip sugar, softened cream cheese and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until creamy, about 2 minutes, scraping bowl often.
• Add melted chocolate chips and beat 1 more minute.
• Add half of malt-cream mixture and beat until uniform in color.
• Fold in remaining malt-cream mixture by hand until frosting is uniform in color.
• Refrigerate at least 2 hours before icing cake.
• For cake: Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• Prepare 3 round 9-inch cake pans with butter and flour and line with parchment or wax paper.
• Set aside.
• Beat oil, milk, yogurt, eggs and vanilla with electric mixer until well blended, about 2 minutes.
• Sift together sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt in separate bowl.
• Slowly add 1/3 of dry ingredients to milk mixture and beat until well blended.
• Beat in 1/3 of boiling water.
• Add another 1/3 of dry ingredients and beat until well mixed; then beat in another 1/3 of water.
• Add remaining dry ingredients, beating well, then add remaining water and beat until well mixed.
• Scrape mixing bowl often.
• Pour equal amounts of batter into prepared pans.
• Bake until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes.
• Do not open oven while cake is baking.
• Cool pans on rack for 15 minutes, then remove cake from pan, take off paper, and continue to cool completely.
• Frost top of one layer with Malt Frosting, then place second layer on top and frost; top with third layer and frost tops and sides.
• Refrigerate 2 hours before cutting.

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.
