Serves: ~1 Litre/4 cups
Ingredients
  • 2 cups (500ml) milk
  • 1 tbsp arrowroot or tapioca starch
  • 3 tbsp cream cheese, at room temperature
  • ¼ tsp flaky sea salt
  • 1 + ¼ cups (310ml) cream (heavy cream if you're in the US, double cream if you're in the UK)
  • ½ cup + 1 tbsp (115g) caster sugar
  • 2 tbsp glucose syrup (or corn syrup)
  • ½ cup chocolate malt powder (such as ovaltine)
  • ¼ cup cacao nibs
Instructions
  1. Place 2 tbsp of the milk into a small bowl, add the arrowroot powder and stir to combine. Set aside.
  2. Place the cream cheese into a large mixing bowl (something that will hold all the ingredients later) and add the salt. Whisk until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Place the remaining milk, the cream, sugar and glucose syrup into a large saucepan (it should fill the pan no more than a third), and place over a medium heat. Bring the mixture up to the boil, and then set a timer and boil for 4 minutes. Be careful, as this can boil over easily, and cleaning up spilled milk sucks - it's nothing to cry over, but it sucks.
  4. Once the milk has had it's 4 minutes, remove from the heat, and whisk in the arrowroot-milk mixture. Place back over the heat and cook for about a minute, until thickened.
  5. Remove some of this mixture back to the arrowroot bowl, and whisk in the ovaltine (this prevents lumps, then stir back into the main mix.
  6. Now, little by little, whisk the ovaltine mix into the cream cheese (you don't want lumps of cream cheese). Leave this mixture to cool completely (I do this in the fridge overnight, or you could whisk it over an ice bath).
  7. Then churn in your machine, as per the manufacturer's instructions. Once the ice cream is churned, quickly fold through the cacao nibs (don't be tempted to add too many - less is more), then set in the freezer for at least 4 hours. Then eat it, dude.
