Ingredients

For the ice cream base:

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons dry milk powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 1 1/3 cups whole milk
  • 1 1/3 cups heavy cream

For the malted chocolate:

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup malted milk powder
  • 1 cup Whoppers candies roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Mix together the sugar, milk powder, and xanthan gum in a bowl.
  • In a saucepan, combine the light corn syrup and milk. Whisk until fully combined. Pour in the sugar mixture. Whisk vigorously, until sugar is dissolved.
  • Set the pot over medium heat and bring up just to a simmer, whisking occasionally. Remove from heat. Add the heavy cream and whisk to combine.
  • Pour the mixture into a large airtight container. You’ll be adding the chocolate to this mixture in the next step.
  • To make the chocolate sauce, combine sugar, water, cocoa powder, and malted milk powder in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk and simmer on low heat until dissolved and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • Once cooled, pour the chocolate syrup into ice cream base and mix it well, with a whisk or an immersion blender. Refrigerate the mixture overnight.
  • Make sure your ice cream maker bowl is in the freezer!
  • When ready to churn, pour the ice cream mixture into the ice cream maker and churn until the ice cream reaches soft serve stage.
  • Pour the Whoppers candies into the ice cream maker and churn just until they are all incorporated, about 30 seconds. Turn off the machine.
  • Quickly scoop out the ice cream into a freezer container. Freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.

Notes

  • This recipe makes half a gallon.
