ICE CREAM FRIDAY WHOPPERS ICE CREAM

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup (250 ml) half-and-half
• 3/4 cup (150 g) sugar
• Pinch of salt
• 2 cups (500 ml) heavy cream
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

HOW TO MAKE

• Warm the half-and-half, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan. In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, vanilla, and malt powder and set a mesh strainer on top.
• In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks.
• Slowly pour the warm mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly, then scrape the warmed egg yolks back into the saucepan.
• Stir the mixture constantly over medium heat with a heatproof spatula, scraping the bottom as you stir, until the mixture thickens and coats the spatula. 
• Pour the custard through the strainer and whisk it into the malted milk mixture. 
• Stir until cool over an ice bath.
• Chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator, then freeze it in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. 
• As you remove the ice cream from the machine, fold in the chopped Whoppers (malted milk balls).
