Malted Mocha Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

Ever since I found out that Costco carries a big ol’ carton of heavy cream, I have been making ice cream like crazy over here. I’ve made this Nutter Butter Fudge Swirl Ice Cream and this Nutella Chocolate Chip Ice Cream that I shared over on Oh, Sweet Basil and now I’m making this Malted Mocha Chocolate Chip Ice Cream pretty much on a weekly basis.

Did you know that I just started drinking coffee?

No like really, this summer.

I have lived in Seattle for almost 10 years now and the Pacific Northwest for most of my life but coffee has never been something that I have been too fond of. That is until recently. For some reason, now, I love it. It could be the fact that I realize that the lack of sleep I’m getting because my little guy is getting not one, not two, but FOUR teeth right now is really helped by a cup of coffee. Or it could be perhaps that cold brew is really, really good. Have you tried it? If not you NEED to.

Now, not only do I want a cup in the morning and a cup in the afternoon, I’ve got to have coffee in my ice cream too.

Well I don’t HAVE to, but it certainly made a delicious addition to this Malted Mocha Chocolate Chip Ice Cream.

I was originally just going to make a Malted Chocolate Chip Ice Cream but when I was digging around my pantry looking for the malted milk powder, I stumbled onto some Espresso powder I had from when I made Kellan’s birthday cake last year. Remembering how good that chocolate cake was with the hint of espresso and how much I really wanted an iced mocha at the time, I decided to sprinkle some into the ice cream.

Swoon.

All of the flavors work so well. You get a little bit of malt. A  bit of coffee and a whole lotta chocolate.

I’ve made this Malted Mocha Chocolate Chip Ice Cream two times in as many weeks and provided I have enough malted milk powder left, I’ll be making it again in a couple of days. I’m kind of obsessed.  One bite and I’m pretty sure you will be too.

    Malt flavors are always my favorite, but I never knew how to make them at home. Looking forward to whipping this up :D
