A malted shake, also known as a malt, is a type of milkshake made with the addition of malted milk powder. Malted milk powder is a mixture of malted barley, wheat flour, and evaporated whole milk powder that adds a nutty, toasted flavor to the shake. The powder is blended with ice cream, milk, and any additional flavorings, such as chocolate syrup or strawberries, to create a thick but drinkable shake. The addition of malted milk powder gives the shake a bit of a toasty, rich taste and a hint of umami to bring out the flavors of the ice cream. Malts are usually thicker and toastier than regular milkshakes.
