MALTED MILK FUDGE RIPPLE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups/470 milliliters heavy cream, the malt powder and the vanilla. Set a mesh strainer over the bowl. Set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, heat remaining 1/2 cup/120 milliliters heavy cream, the milk, the sugar, the malt syrup (if using) and the salt over medium heat.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly, then scrape the warmed yolk-milk mixture back into the saucepan.
• Stir the mixture constantly over medium heat with a wooden spoon or heatproof plastic spatula, scraping the bottom as you stir, until mixture thickens and coats the spatula, about 5 minutes. Pour the custard through the strainer into the malted milk-cream mixture and whisk well. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then chill mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator, at least 4 hours.
• Meanwhile, prepare the fudge: Whisk together sugar, malt syrup, cocoa powder, salt and 1/2 cup/125 milliliters water in a medium saucepan. Place over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture begins to bubble at the edges.
• Continue to whisk until it just comes to a low boil. Cook for 1 minute, whisking frequently. Remove from the heat, stir in the vanilla and let cool. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, covered, before using. Fudge can be made up to 1 week ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
• Freeze the ice cream in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• To create the ripple effect, dollop large spoonfuls of fudge ripple into your ice cream storage container. Top with a layer of freshly churned ice cream, then another layer of fudge. Repeat until all of the fudge and ice cream are layered. (If you have any fudge left over, serve it on top of the ice cream.) Give the mixture a quick stir to swirl together the fudge and ice cream, but don't overdo it. You're looking for marbling. Freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
• Serve ice cream topped by dollops of whipped cream or crème fraîche, crushed malted milk balls or malted milk powder, and any leftover chocolate fudge.
