Preparation

Step 1

To make the sauce:
In a small saucepan, bring the cream, corn syrup, Ovaltine, brown sugar, salt, and 2 oz of the chocolate to a boil over medium heat. Stir until smooth and the chocolate has melted. Reduce the heat to medium-low to maintain a simmer and, stirring very slowly, cook for 5 minutes.

Remove from the heat and stir in the butter, vanilla, and remaining 1 oz of chocolate. Let the sauce cool for 10 minutes before adding to the ice cream.

To store extra sauce, cool the sauce completely and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Reheat in a microwave or over low heat on the stovetop.

To make the milkshakes:
Blend together ice cream, malted milk chocolate sauce, and milk until smooth. Pour the milkshakes into chilled glasses and drizzle on some extra sauce before serving, if desired.
