I cannot get enough of the barley malt syrup and decided that an ice cream would be next on my agenda. Greg who is the chef at Waterkloof has provided me with a lot of inspiration for ice cream flavours. He is a chef I respect and admire and he has given me his recipes to try out at home. Of the recipes he has shared with me, there are two ice cream recipes, and even though I have not made either one yet, I have used them as inspiration for my own ice cream. I decided to make a bitter chocolate malt ice cream as an accompaniment to something sweet that needs tempering. However, I have stalled a bit and not yet made the perfect dessert to go with my ice cream. I have a recipe on my fridge ready and waiting to go but I have not really been in the mood for baking. I think it is a bit of a mid winter slump, but that is sure to change before too long. In the meantime, I can keep on dipping my spoon into this ice cream and dream of summer!

Thanks Ela, me too 🙂
I must look for something malty to take back to Dubai. It’s one of the only things we can’t buy.
I have been told that you can get sugar free Horlicks in the UK so I am going to look for it next year 🙂
I must must MUST bookmark this beauty of a recipe 😀
Cheers

I hope you make it Uru 🙂
This ice cream is amazing! Love malt chocolates!
Thanks Jess, me too 🙂
I love when my icecream is soft and just starts to get a little melty, I want to dig my spoon into your dish of delightful chocolate malt ice cream.
I also love it that way, and then topped with sauce, YUM!
What a fun ice cream flavor!
Thank you Joanne 🙂
Oh this is a winner of an ice cream recipe. Just thinking about the flavours makes me hungry.
Thank you Maureen 🙂
I’m really looking forward to summer now – not that you can’t make ice cream in winter, I just prefer it then. Last summer was the first time I tried making ice cream and I loved it! Though I used a recipe that used condensed milk and not eggs. Looking forward to trying some of your recipes so I can keep an eye on the sugar.
I have a recipe that uses both condensed milk and eggs which I want to blog about 🙂
I was so taken by your tart that I had a search for the barley malt syrup (couldn’t find it) but now I have another reason to look harder!:D
I really thought this would be an easy ingredient to find! Sorry 🙁
Hi Tandy, some day I will pick myself up an ice cream maker, this sounds delicious!
It is one of the best buys I have made Cheri 🙂
Tandy, this ice cream looks so delicious! That barley syrup sounds so tasty. I need to search for that.
I hope you can find it Cindy – it is so healthy 🙂
I have never used barley malt syrup but now I want some just so I can make this! It looks great.
I hope your local health store stocks the syrup Kari 🙂
I love the taste of malt, Tandy. There is a powdered drink here in Australia called Milo that has a lovely chocolaty malty taste. I bet this tastes a little like that … lovely!
I love milo – we get it here as well, especially on top of custard 🙂
I most definitely need to pick up some barley malt syrup—sounds yummy!
It is very yummy!
hi tandy
this looks really interesting and easy to make -well apart from me not having an ice cream maker:) i always make the no churn types or do the freeze it and beat it thing. i am pretty sure i saw barley malt syrup at our local health store. they seemed to have every other kind of syrup!
The syrup will be at your local health store for sure! I must post a few more no churn ice cream recipes 🙂
If this were at an ice cream shop, I’d definitely pick this flavour- it sounds so interesting!
Thank you for the compliment Von 🙂
Nice creation, Tandy! How bitter is bitter? I’m certain it’s still lovely sweet with a hint of bitterness on the side ;). Thanks for sharing!

I would rate it at about 80% bitter which is not sweet enough for some people but perfect for me 🙂
How lovely to have a chef who gives you his recipes! I love the look of your ice cream and what a delicious flavour xx
Thanks Charlie, I am so blessed to know Greg 🙂
That barley syrup sounds amazing! I’ve never made ice cream before, but when I do – I want it to be malt flavored because I love that!
I love making ice cream and I hope you enjoy making them when you do 🙂 Thank you for the visit Kristi!
This looks so tasty, if only I had some barley malt syrup!
Thank you Kelly, and thank you for the visit 🙂
Such a beautifully rich ice cream! I love the flavour! I haven’t used barley malt syrup before. I sounds so delicious!
Thank you so much Stephanie, and thank you for the visit 🙂
Even with a meal that was not quite perfect, I looks like a lovely place to have a meal.
It is a very lovely place indeed 🙂
I must try this! Looks delicious!!
Thank you Jessica 🙂 Let me know if you do!
Gosh that sounds delicious, I would love this ice cream, what a great idea!
Thank you Anna 🙂
