Low Carb Malted Milk Balls Ice Cream

Shrewd Food makes a number of keto-friendly products. Most notable is their protein crisps. They come in savory and sweet varieties. Yes, I already tried them in my ice cream and the results were bland and soggy. It seems like almost all of the flavor is concentrated on the coating and it’s very mild. However, their new chocolate-covered crisps, Keto Dark Chocolate Protein Crisp Dippers, are a game-changer. The semi-sweet chocolate protects the crispy center and is flavorful enough to be noticed as an inclusion. They remind me of a malted milk ball...without the taste of malted milk. Ah! But what if I flavored the ice cream as malted milk? Would that fool my tastebuds? Yes! Oh, yes. It does.

The malt flavoring is from Nature’s Flavors. They make both regular malt and chocolate malt extracts that are both great. I prefer the regular malt since the dippers provide all the chocolate flavor we need.

Ingredients
