Hello! If you’ve never had Milo before, letalone heard of it, Milo is a chocolate malt powder that mixes with hot milk to make a really yummy chocolatey drink. It was first made by Nestle in 1934 in Australia and is popular in Australia & New Zealand. Milo was created to help children have a yummy drink that added nutrients to their diets. You can also have it cold. As kids, we’d have WAY too much powder, and we’d also sprinkle it on top of the milk.

You could also make this as a no-churn ice cream by using condensed milk instead of full-fat milk and adding in melted chocolate.
