Chilling the blender cup or jar will help keep the malt thick and creamy.
Look for malted milk powder near the cocoa and chocolate mixes at your grocery store. You can add an additional 1 tablespoon (7 g) of malted milk powder if you like a stronger malt flavor.
For a thick malt, stop blending as soon as the ingredients are mixed.
You can also drizzle a little syrup over the malts to add additional flavor. For example, drizzle caramel or chocolate sauce over the malts.
If you’re not using a milkshake mixer, put your blender jar into the freezer. If the blender cup is warm, the malt will begin to melt.
For the creamiest chocolate malt, use high-quality chocolate ice cream that lists chocolate or cocoa powder as one of the first ingredients. Although you can use any type of milk, whole milk will give you the richest tasting malt.
If your blender has trouble mixing the malt ingredients, you might need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender jar.
For an even stronger chocolate flavor, drizzle the insides of the serving glasses with more chocolate syrup. Then pour the chocolate malt into them.
While you can use the blender to make the malts, a milkshake mixer will incorporate more air into the malt. This will make the texture of the malts a little lighter.
There’s no need to slice or thaw the strawberries since they’ll be blended.
If you’d like thinner malts, blend them for more than 1 minute.
