Follow these simple steps to create your Malted Vanilla Ice Cream with Chocolate-Covered Pretzels:

1. Prepare the Ice Cream Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, malted milk powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until the sugar and malted milk powder are fully dissolved.

2. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or until chilled.

3. Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually for about 25-30 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

4. Add the Pretzels: During the last few minutes of churning, add the roughly chopped chocolate-covered pretzels to the ice cream, allowing them to mix in evenly.

5. Transfer to a Container: Scoop the churned ice cream into an airtight container. Smooth the top with a spatula.

6. Freeze: Cover the container with a lid and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until firm.

7. Prepare for Serving: If desired, melt additional chocolate and drizzle it over the top of the ice cream before serving for an extra touch of indulgence.
