Are you ready to embark on a delectable journey into the world of Milo-infused bliss? Look no further! Our ultimate Milo ice cream recipe is designed to tickle your taste buds with the perfect blend of chocolate malted goodness and creamy delight. The best part? You don’t need an ice cream maker for this homemade treat. Follow our step-by-step guide, and get ready to savor the richness of Milo in every scoop.

Ingredients Needed:

Milo Magic:

Milo: The star of the show, a chocolate malted milk drink that brings a unique flavor to our ice cream.

Creamy Elegance:

Cream: Thickened cream with a luxurious 34% fat content. Alternatively, you can use heavy cream or heavy whipping cream for an extra creamy texture.

Milk Marvel:

Milk: Opt for full-fat milk with around 3.5% fat content for the best results. Avoid low-fat milk, as it may compromise the ice cream’s texture.

Sweet Symphony:

Brown Sugar: Milo’s sweetness is enhanced with a touch of brown sugar, contributing to both taste and texture. You can substitute white sugar if you prefer a sweeter ice cream.

Stabilizing Secret:

Tapioca Starch: A natural thickening and stabilizing agent that ensures the perfect consistency. Substitutes include arrowroot powder or corn flour.

Texture Booster (Optional):

Glycose Syrup: Also known as confectioner’s glucose, this optional addition lowers the freezer point, enhancing texture and scoop-ability.

How to Make Milo Ice Cream:

Prepare the Base:

Combine milk and cream in a saucepan.

Mix tapioca starch with a small amount of the milk-cream mixture to form a slurry.

Add brown sugar, Milo powder, and glucose syrup (if using) to the milk-cream mix. Stir well.

Thicken the Magic:

Heat the mixture until it starts bubbling, then reduce heat.

Introduce the tapioca starch slurry to the pot, stirring continuously.

Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool. For stubborn Milo powder, a quick blend with an immersion blender may help.

Chill and Set:

Transfer the mix to a heatproof container and chill in the fridge for approximately four hours.

Pre-chill your ice cream storage container in the freezer.

Churning Marvel:

For self-churning ice cream machines, start them about ten minutes before churning. If using a freezer bowl, take it out just before churning.

If the mix settled while chilling, give it a good stir before pouring it into the ice cream machine.

Churn until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

How to Serve:

Indulge in the creamy delight by scooping out your Milo ice cream. Enjoy it on its own or elevate the experience with a sprinkle of extra Milo on top. Deliciousness awaits!

How to Store:

Store your Milo ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. Although it may become slightly icy after this period, the flavor remains irresistible.

Can I substitute Milo with another chocolate drink?

Why is tapioca starch used?

Tapioca starch acts as a natural thickening and stabilizing agent, ensuring the ideal texture for your ice cream.
