My 95 year old ( she doesn’t look it does she?) Grandma is in town, she flew down from Iowa. She has a thing for sweets, especially chocolate. So I decided to make her the best malt in the world with a combination of Ovaltine Malt mix and Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream. You have to use Ovaltine if you make a malt, then you can feel good about chugging 5 scoops of ice cream because you are getting just about all of your daily needs of vitamin A, D, C and iron, not to mention five other vitamins and minerals. It’s how I like to take my vitamins. In a blender, with ice cream. Also, those vitamins will zero out any calories from the ice cream.
For each person’s milk shake you will want to figure about three scoops of ice cream. If no one has had lunch yet, give everyone an extra scoop. Remember, they are going to get more than 60% of most of their needed daily vitamins! I am telling you, Ovaltine is that good. Especially because we are adding in milk! And whoppers. And Ovaltine.
Remember, the trick is to mix the ice cream, malt, and milk first. I never measure when I make milkshakes, I just add a little milk at a time. The more milk you add, the thinner the malt. Once that is sufficiently mixed up, add the whoppers and only mix for a few seconds. If you mix it too long the whoppers will be mashed to smithereens.

My husband makes the best strawberry milkshakes. Like you, he doesn’t measure, he just goes with his gut. Lots of good vanilla ice cream, milk, lots of strawberries…blend, add whipped cream and enjoy! He also makes a mint choc chip one that is really good too.
Now I want a shake 🙂

I LOVE Chocolate Milkshakes, but have never made them at home. We love the regular ovaltine here and now I am going out to buy some of the malt just to try this recipe!!! Thanks

My favorite is a coffee milkshake at a local ice cream stand we have in town but if we make them at home I always opt for a chocolate milkshake, with lots & lots of ice cream! So thick the spoon stands up in it!!!

PEANUT BUTTER!!!!!! Nothing beats a good peanut butter milkshake. Unless it is a Jack in the Box Pumpkin Pie Milkshake. We wait all year for October when they sell them.

I can’t stand malt balls such as whoppers. But I love chocolate malt milk shakes. And I don’t like chunks in my milk shakes so here is what I do.
3 big scoops of natural chocolate or natural vanilla bean
1/4-1/2 teaspoon of real vanilla extract
3-4 tablespoons of chocolate syrup
Milk as needed to make desired thickness
And 3 to 4 tablespoons of ovaltine original malt
