1/2 c. (or more) whole milk
2 tbsp. malted milk powder
Whipped cream, sprinkles, and/or cherries, for topping

Malted milk powder is a mixture of malted barley, wheat flour, and evaporated whole milk powder that was initially developed as a nutritional supplement for infants. In foods it adds a nutty, toasted flavor that is most iconically found in malted milk balls. Adding malted milk powder to a milkshake is like adding MSG to a soup or fried rice. It not only provides a depth of flavor that wasn’t there before, but it also helps to amplify the ice cream. And the best part is it goes with all kinds of ice cream. Chocolate is obviously the classic, but we loved adding it to strawberry, peanut butter, and even matcha ice cream.
