Malted Milk Toffee Crunch Ice Cream
[Photograph: Robyn Lee]
Two classics that play better together: a sweet, creamy malted milk base and the salty-nutty crunch of toffee.
Note: Malt powder, available from mail order and some commercial vendors, is just pure malt; malted milk powder, which this recipe calls for, adds dry milk powder and sugar.
