Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- High-Protein Goodness – Made with Fairlife milk, this high-protein chocolate ice cream gives you a boost without sacrificing flavor.
- Easy to Make – No complicated techniques—just mix, freeze, and spin in the Ninja Creami.
- Classic Malt Flavor – The combination of chocolate and malt powder brings back the taste of vintage milkshakes in a scoopable, creamy dessert.
Ingredients
- Milk - I used the Chocolate Fairlife milk, which is one of my favorites. It’s ultra-filtered, so it’s higher in protein and lower in sugar compared to regular milk. Plus, it’s packed with calcium and vitamin D, making it a great choice for a creamy, guilt-free treat. It works perfectly in this ice cream, giving it a smooth, rich texture without overloading calories.
- Malt powder - You can use any type of malt powder that you like. I used Ovaltine because that's what my local grocery store had available.
Tools Needed
- Ninja Blender - I use the personal-sized smoothie blender because it's the perfect size to blend the ingredients for this recipe.
- Ninja Creami ice cream maker - I use the original Ninja Creami for this recipe.
- Ninja Creami Pints - I opted for these pints because they were about half the price as the ones being sold by Ninja Creami, but be weary if you need them quickly; it took about three weeks to get here.
How to make this recipe
- Mix your ingredients. Add all ingredients to a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Freeze the mixture. Next, transfer the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint and place the lid on. Transfer the pint to the freezer and freeze for at least 24 hours.
- Process in the Ninja Creami. After 24 hours, remove the lid and place the pint into the pint holder. Place the lid with the blade on top and lock it into place. Run the Ninja Creami on the lite ice cream function.
- Respin for the perfect texture. The texture will be crumbly after the first spin, simply run the Re-Spin function to get that perfectly creamy consistency. If after the first re-spin it is still crumbly, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of milk and re-spin one last time.
- Serve and Enjoy. Scoop your homemade chocolate malt ice cream into a bowl or cone and enjoy the rich, malty flavor with every bite.

Tips for the Best Chocolate Malt Ice Cream
- Make it Extra Creamy – If you prefer an ultra-creamy texture, try adding a splash of heavy cream or half-and-half to the mix before freezing.
- Boost the Protein – Want even more protein? Mix in a scoop of chocolate or vanilla protein powder before freezing.
- Add Mix-Ins – Stir in mini chocolate chips, crushed malt balls, or a drizzle of caramel after spinning for extra flavor and crunch.
