- 3 tbsp light corn syrup
- 2 tbsp chocolate malt Ovaltine (or 2 tbsp malted milk powder mixed with 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder and 1 tsp brown sugar)
- 2 tbsp firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 oz good-quality milk chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter

- For the milkshakes (Yields 2 large milkshakes):
- 1 pint chocolate ice cream
- 5 tbsp malted milk chocolate sauce
- 2/3 cup whole milk
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.
