Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • Vanilla ice cream 3 cups: A classic, creamy base that carries the malt flavor well.
  • Whole milk 3/4 to 1 cup: Adjust for thickness; start with less and add as needed.
  • Malted milk powder 3–4 tablespoons: For that signature malt shop flavor.
  • Mini speckled candy eggs 3/4 cup, plus extra for topping: Use chocolate-filled eggs with crisp shells.
  • Vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon: Enhances the overall flavor.
  • Pinch of salt: Brightens sweetness and balance.
  • Whipped cream optional: For topping.
  • Chocolate or caramel sauce optional: A drizzle adds richness and a pretty finish.
  • Sprinkles or extra crushed eggs optional: For garnish and crunch.

Instructions
 

  • Chill your glasses. Pop two tall glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes.
  • Cold glasses keep the shake thick longer and make it feel extra special.
  • Crush the speckled eggs. Place the candy eggs in a zip-top bag and crush lightly with a rolling pin. Aim for pea-sized pieces so they add crunch without clogging your straw.
  • Blend the base. In a blender, add the ice cream, 3/4 cup milk, malted milk powder, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  • If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk.
  • Fold in the candy. Add about two-thirds of the crushed eggs to the blender and pulse just 1–2 times. You want visible speckles and bits, not dust.
  • Taste and adjust. If you want more malt flavor, add another tablespoon of malted milk powder and blend briefly. For more sweetness or texture, stir in more crushed eggs.
  • Pour and top. Pour into chilled glasses.
  • Finish with whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce, and a sprinkle of the remaining crushed eggs.
  • Serve right away. Milkshakes wait for no one. Hand over a wide straw or a long spoon and enjoy immediately.
