A Touch Of Nostalgia – Milo Ice Cream

August 6, 2014 by GG 26 Comments

Milo Ice Cream

Milo Ice Cream

Dusk would settle in, as would we in our old fashioned ward.  Nine metal beds lined up facing each other and one by the door for the very ill.  It was all relative, as this was a school infirmary and the usual complaints were coughs, colds and the occasional Streptoccocol throat that warranted the bed by the door.  At 6.30, our faded flowery quilts pulled up tight and pillows plumped for the night, Nurse would come round for bedtime drinks orders.  The universal request was MILO!  The malted granules would float on the cold milk, no one wanted it hot, and we’d spoon them off, one crunchy mouthful after another reluctantly finishing the milk.

This treat was strictly for pupils that were ill. You could go terms without a sniff of a bedtime drink and so for all of us Milo became a real treat.  As nostalgia beckoned I’ve made a creamy, malted version of that drink, with just a sprinkle of Milo to finish the top.

Ingredients
  • 8 Egg Yolks
  • 150 g Caster Sugar
  • 500 ml Double Cream
  • 500 ml Full Fat Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Paste
  • 45 g Milo
Method
  1. In a large bowl whisk the egg yolks with 100g of the sugar, until the mixture is light in colour. Set aside
  2. Put the cream, milk, the remainder of the sugar, milo and vanilla into a saucepan over and moderate heat and bring just to a boil. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for a couple of minutes
  3. Whisking the eggs continually, pour the cream mixture into the eggs, then pour back into the saucepan and stir continuously over a moderate heat until the custard thickens and coats the back of the spoon.
  4. Pour into a bowl and cover directly onto the custard with cling film to stop a skin forming. Once cool place in an Ice Cream churner and Churn for the required time. Eat immediately or place in an airtight container in the freezer. Serve sprinkled with a little Milo

    I didn’t grow up with Milo but when I moved to Australia there was Milo prepared every night for a young 8-year old. I wish I’d thought of making ice cream from it! This sounds good to me.

    That touches a chord….one of my school mates who was a boarder took me to task recently when she learned I fed my tiffin to our Principal’s dog……that’s when I learned how bad the food they used to have. Beautiful ice cream.

      Yes, ours was pretty dreadful and not much of it. But Milo was a highlight. GG

      It’s a great milky drink and kids love it. But it does work very well in ice cream and biscuits too. GG

    When my Archie was at boarding school he loved it when he was sick and had to go to the school’s hospital. The matrons and nurses there were always so lovely and yes, there were plenty of treats he didn’t get at any other time. I’ve always loved ice cream with Milo and this is giving me plenty of memories of my teenage years xx

      Our Sisiter and nurses were really quite strict, unless you were in that bed by the door, then they were delightful. GG

      It’s available in large supermarkets here. It’s really malty and chocolatey, great for flavouring and perfect for an ice cream. GG

    AHHHH! Milo! I haven’t had Milo in ages and I didn’t think you could get it in the UK GG! I used to get it when I lived in HK and I believe it is still huge in Australia too! What a wonderful post and this drips nostalgia for me too! Karen

      I used to have it on Trips to Hong Kong a reminder of home on those three week factory visits. I bought mine in Sainsburys?! I think Asda sells it too. I’m glad you liked the post and it really does make delicious ice cream. GG

      It wasn’t as synonymous with childhood for us here. In fact the only place I ever saw Milo was at school. That’s why it seems so nostalgic for me. GG

    Boy oh boy… who doesn’t like Milo? I grew up drinking Milo for breakfast or when I was sick. Dunk plain crackers in Milo is still my favourite thing to do! And I will agree 100% that Milo makes good ice-cream. I don’t have an ice-cream maker though…
