This recipe is very good if you double the chocolate malt powder. Otherwise there will not be enough chocolate flavor. I didn't have enough whipping cream so I used half light cream. I can stop looking for a good chocolate ice cream recipe now. My husband liked the crushed milk balls added in but I didn't.

This does not taste quite the same as the real thing but close enough. If they are dry and crumbly you added too much flour. The right way to measure it is to fluff it up with a spoon and use that spoon to fill the cup. Never dip a cup into the flour and then tap it to add more. That is too much. If you really want to know how much more you're adding weigh it sometime. 1 cup of all purpose flour should weigh about 4.5 oz. Other kinds of flour are different. Also adding bit of salt to this recipe is a good idea.

I agree with lawavediva who said this is way too tart. I have been baking for almost 50 years and know most people like a sweet apple pie. I would also use brown sugar for the topping. There are better recipes out there.
