Ice Cream To Freakshake, Decadent Bournvita Dessert Recipes

Perfect your homemade shakes, ice creams and puddings with the one staple from your childhood that made everything better. We’re talking about Bournvita, of course! The malted chocolate drink powder can actually be a great flavoring agent in most chocolate desserts as it adds a depth of flavor and a malted accent to recipes. It can also double up as a topping and can be used to make a glaze. Here are some ways you can use Bournvita in your desserts

No-Churn Bournvita Ice Cream:

In ice creams, Bournvita can prove to be a terrific flavoring agent. If you don’t want your ice cream to be too sweet, Bournvita is perfect since it contains some sweetness and the dessert won’t need any additional sweeteners.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups heavy cream, chilled
• 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk, chilled
• 1/2 cup Bournvita
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Chocolate chips or chunks (optional, for added texture)

Instructions:

• Place the heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight to ensure they are well chilled.
• Whip the chilled heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This step is easier if both the cream and the mixing bowl are very cold.
• In a separate bowl, mix the chilled sweetened condensed milk, Bournvita, and vanilla extract until well combined.
• Gently fold the Bournvita mixture into the whipped cream. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream; use a gentle folding motion until the mixture is homogeneous.
• Pour the mixture into a lidded container suitable for freezing. Smooth the top with a spatula.
• Cover the container and place it in the freezer for at least 6 hours or overnight until the ice cream is firm.
• Once the ice cream has set, serve it

Bournvita Chocolate Pudding:

Add 2-3 tablespoons of Bournvita to add a malted accent to your chocolate pudding. It intensifies the overall chocolate taste and its malty undertone adds to the depth and complexity of the chocolate profile in your desserts.

The malted barley content in Bournvita actually contributes to a creamy texture when mixed with liquid ingredients. This can be great for use in puddings, shakes, and smoothies that need a certain creamy appeal

Ingredients:

• 2 cups whole milk
• 3 tablespoons Bournvita
• 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Whipped cream and chocolate shavings for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

• Mix Bournvita, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt. Add a little milk to make a smooth paste.
• In a saucepan, heat the remaining milk over medium heat until it's warm but not boiling.
• Gradually whisk in the Bournvita mixture and sugar into the warm milk, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
• Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.
• Once the pudding has thickened, remove it from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
• Pour the pudding into individual serving bowls or a larger dish.
• Allow it to cool slightly before refrigerating for at least 2 hours or until set.
• Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings before serving.

Bournvita No-Bake Cookies:

Dry ingredients are pretty crucial for no-bake cookies since they hold the dessert together; the mixture for a no-bake cookie needs to be tight, so adding some Bournvita can replace your need for a chocolate sauce, chocolate chips or any other agent

Ingredients:

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup Bournvita
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/2 cup desiccated coconut

Instructions:

• In a bowl, mix rolled oats, Bournvita, peanut butter, honey, and desiccated coconut until well combined.
• Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture and shape them into cookies.
• Place the cookies on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
• Once set, the no-bake cookies are ready to be enjoyed.

Bournvita Chocolate Muffins:

Don’t skip the cocoa powder in this even if you use Bournvita. In muffins, the right amount of cocoa can lead to a tender crumb. Not to mention it enhances the flavor too. Using equal portions Bournvita and cocoa powder is a great idea for recipes like these

Ingredients:

• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup Bournvita
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup buttermilk
• Chocolate chips (optional, for extra indulgence)

Instructions:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
• In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, Bournvita, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in batches, alternating with the buttermilk.
• Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
