Cooking Lesson #668: Quick, Easy & Creamy Brooklyn Malted

…from the Perspectives’ Kitchen

How you doin’? There are milkshakes and then there are Brooklyn Malteds. The addition of powdered malt turns an ordinary milkshake into a piece of art. Malteds are classic, creamy and delicious.
 
In just a few minutes and with just a few ingredients including cold milk, chocolate syrup, malt powder and ice cream you can make a couple of delicious homemade shakes. Blend it to the texture you by the length of the blend and maybe some additional ice cream. Blend, pour, garnish and enjoy! 
 
This Malted will make you happy for at least an hour, but for a true Happy Hour version check out the ChefSecret below.
 
Prep time: 7 minutes
Yields:  2 (12 oz) servings
 
Ingredients 
6 scoops vanilla or chocolate ice cream (about 3 cups)
1/2 cup milk (cold)
1/4 cup chocolate syrup (I prefer Hershey’s)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoon malt powder
 
Garnish with:
1 ounce (one squirt) whipped cream (I prefer Reddi Whip aerosol extra creamy)
1 teaspoon chocolate shavings
1 maraschino cherry with stem on
 
Directions

1. Place ice cream, milk, chocolate syrup, vanilla extract, malt powder, in blender container.
2. Cover; blend until smooth; about 5 minutes.
3. Garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings and a cherry on top.
4. Pour into 2 chilled/frozen glasses.
5. Serve immediately.

ChefSecret:  Guild the lily a bit by adding a 1/4 cup of malted milk balls to the blend and then a half a dozen or so to the garnish. Artfully drizzle a 1/4 cup of chocolate syrup down the side of the frozen glass. Lastly, make it an adult beverage by adding 1/4 cup of Harvey’s Bristol Cream Sherry or Bailey's Irish Cream to the mix with a drizzle on the top.
