Chocolate Malt Ice Cream {with chocolate covered almonds}

Turn your hot summer time days into cool summer time treats with this heavenly no-churn Chocolate Malt Ice Cream with chocolate swirls and chocolate covered almonds!

Yes, you heard me correct — to make this decadent ice cream you don’t even need to pull out your ice cream maker!

This is really my kind of sweet treat to make during the hot months of the summer — quick, easy and no need to drag out a machine or turn on your oven!

You just use a few simple ingredients; sweetened condensed milk, malt powder, heavy whipping cream, chocolate syrup, and chocolate covered almonds. And what you get is an amazing dessert — good enough to dazzle your friends!

And around here, this really is the perfect dessert. It’s been so incredibly hot, that when you get home from a long day at work, nothing is better than this Chocolate Malt Ice Cream waiting for you in your freezer!

A few weeks ago we had 8 consecutive days where it was over 100 degrees. It finally cooled down to the mid-80’s for several days — perfect weather in my mind, but this week we are climbing up to the high 90’s and they are forecasting triple digits for the weekend!

No joke, when the thermometer gets over 100, it’s truly miserable. And we don’t really feel like doing much, except for splashing in the pool and consuming any type of food or drink that helps us cool down!

That’s where this ice cream comes into play. Now, my husband really does not like anything made with sweetened condensed milk. Not sure why, but he thinks if you are going to make ice cream, you need to do it with fresh heavy cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla beans. Then of course, you need to use your ice cream maker.

Well, sorry! I love the canned gooey stuff and during the summer, I really don’t feel like making things the “long” way. Give me a recipe that’s quick and easy, and especially no-bake or no-churn and I’m all over it. And this ice cream will not disappoint.

However, if you know my husband (really does not each much of the stuff I blog about), then you will know, that with his feet firmly planted on the ground, he did not even try one bite of this creamy, malty, chocolaty, nutty delight! So, that meant just more for me! No complaints here as this Chocolate Malt Ice Cream is truly heavenly! !

Chocolate Malt Ice Cream {with chocolate swirls and chocolate covered almonds}

Ingredients:

1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup Carnation Malted Milk Powder
Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup
Chocolate Covered Almonds

Instructions:

In a large bowl

Put the sweetened condensed milk into a large bowl and set aside.

To a large bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, add the heavy cream and malted milk powder and beat on high-speed until stiff peaks form. Do not over whip.

Add the whipped cream into the bowl of sweetened condensed milk stir gently with a spatula until well incorporated. Then add the chocolate syrup a little at a time until you get the right balance you like. I only used about 1/3 cup as I don’t like mine so chocolaty.

Pour 1/3 of the mixture into a loaf pan and smooth the top with your spatula. Then drizzle with some chocolate syrup and sprinkle the top with chocolate covered almonds. Repeat twice, but on the last layer after you add the chocolate syrup, using a knife and run it up and down the length of the mixture to get a pretty swirled effect. Chop a handful of the chocolate covered almonds and place them on the top.

Place in the freezer for 6 hours or overnight, or until firm. Scoop into cones or bowls and enjoy!

So, if you are like me, I know you will love this Chocolate Malt Ice Cream — any way you serve it, in a bowl on on a cone, it’s the perfect summertime treat!
