Malted Vanilla Milkshake
After buying malted milk powder for the first time recently and making our inaugural malted milk recipe (the Chocolate Malted Whopper Cookies – yum!), we knew without a doubt that our next stop would be a milkshake. We mean, how could it not be?! Malted milkshakes are pretty much iconic in America. They make us envision corner-shop candy and soda fountain shops in the 1950’s. Sometimes we wish we would have grown up in that era – everything about it mesmerizes us. But we’re in the here and now, and great milkshakes are still coveted today. While we admittedly don’t have them often, there is just something so satisfying about a great, thick, creamy milkshake. And vanilla is by far our favorite. Off we went to churn up our favorite vanilla bean ice cream so we could make a evenly authentic, from-scratch malted milkshake.
So, this is pretty much a standby milkshake ever. Thick, creamy, ice-cold, malt-y, and with 100% from-scratch ice cream. We can’t imagine anything better. Also, we love that you can see the little vanilla bean flecks in the milkshake! If you like chocolate or strawberry shakes, just use your favorite flavor of ice cream and keep everything else the same.
Disclaimer: we have no idea how many calories or fat grams are in this milkshake. Ignorance is bliss and everything in moderation. Enjoy! :)
