chocolate malt popsicles
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, sifted
- ¼ cup (35g) chocolate malted milk powder, plus extra to serve
- ¼ cup (55g) caster sugar
- ¼ cup (60ml) water
- ¾ cup (180ml) pure cream, whipped to soft peaks
- Place the egg yolks, vanilla, cocoa and chocolate malted milk powder in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat for 3–4 minutes or until thick.
- Place the sugar and water in a small saucepan over high heat and bring to the boil. Cook for 2–3 minutes or until slightly reduced and syrupy.
- Pour the hot syrup, in a thin steady stream, into the egg yolks and continue to beat for 4–6 minutes or until the mixture is cool. Gently fold the cream into the egg yolk mixture.
