Happy THIRSTY THURSDAY, Readers! Today, I made something a little more old school. When I was a kid, there was nothing better than going out for burgers and my parents giving us the go ahead to order a shake.
My Dad would ALWAYS order a chocolate malt. He said it was his favorite when he was a kid and always made him think of childhood.
So, when I saw the container of Malted Milk at the store, I thought blending up some Chocolate Malts for Thirsty Thursday would be a great summertime drink. Some people don’t like the added calories of added malt to a shake, but it really does make the shake taste more chocolatey, and in moderation, it is a great treat!
Old Fashioned Chocolate Malt
2 – 3 scoops vanilla ice cream
2 Tbs Malted Milk
2 Tbs Chocolate Syrup
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 – 3/4 cup of milk
Put all the ingredients in the blender, and blend until smooth. Pour into a glass, and garnish with whipped cream.

You are making me soooo hungry with this. And nostalgic. Yum. There is nothing like a good malt during the summer. Thanks for sharing!
Dare I suggest a malt for breakfast? It is summertime after all 🙂
Take care,
Erin
Yum…I use malted milk in my cocoa recipe in the winter. It does add a lot of flavor!
Ooo, I will have to try that!
I don't think anyone but you could make me want to follow a recipe on purpose when I didn't NEED to nourish my family – but your lighthearted spirit, and the yumminess and home realities you share … can sometimes pull me out of my role as a reluctant homemaker. So thank you for that. Totally just nominated you for the Liebster Award. Because. That's why. Will you play?
Thank you so much! YES, I will play.
