Malted Vanilla Milk Shakes

Serving Size, Ingredients and Equipment:

Equipment required: immersion blender (that is strong enough to blend ice cubes) and a tall, narrow container for blending each shake with the immersion blender.

Ingredients for each milk shake:

- 3 large scoops hard vanilla ice cream (optional: use a heated knife to cut small-ish blocks of ice cream to prepare for mixing), chopped into chunks

- 3 frozen Tbsp organic Weihenstephan milk (found in German supermarkets) or your favorite brand of whole milk, about 3 ice cubes worth

- 1 Tsp "Seitenbacher Backmalz" baking malt (found in German supermarkets) or your favorite brand of powdered malt without additives

Cooking Instructions and Methods:

Add the frozen milk cubes, hard ice cream and malt powder to your blending container.

Blend until creamy and thick, allowing some melting to create a thick texture, but not long enough to excessively melt the mixture.

If the blend is too thick, pour in a little milk and try again. However, thick milkshakes contain much more ice cream than they do milk.
