Sweetopolita's malted chocolate icing is tasty.

A half-batch made a nice thick layer of icing for a 9x13" yellow box cake. Light and fluffy and I'm absolutely convinced that whipping air into it deflates the calorie count.

Sweetapolita says to make it in a food processor, but I used the balloon on my KA mixer and liked the texture.

1 Cup (2 sticks) butter

2 Cups (250 grams) powdered sugar

3/8 C malted milk powder (I don't like Ovaltine...mine was just a beige malt powder)

1/4 C heavy cream

1 tsp vanilla

3.5 oz melted QUALITY chocolate bar (I used Godiva 50%)

My butter is always unsalted so I added 1/4 tsp salt.

Sounds good...Ovaltine make malt powder? I've only seen Carnation.

I used the Carnation malted milk powder. Ovaltine is made with malt, but has some

...off-taste that I don't like. My mom, however, loved it so that's what we had in the house.

I agree - Ovaltine tasts nasty. It's not worth a decoder ring!

I grew up drinking Ovaltine, have they changed the formula? I have not had it in years!
