CRUST
Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with baking liners. Using a food processor, grind cookies into crumbs; stir in melted butter; combine well. Distribute crumb mixture evenly among cups. Press crumbs firmly to form a crust in bottom of each liner. Bake for 7 minutes. Once baked, remove from oven and allow cups to cool. When cups are cooled, sprinkle a layer of crushed malted milk balls over the crusts. Reserve any leftover crushed malted milk balls to garnish the tops of the cups.
ICE CREAM
Mix together the ice cream and malt powder until smooth. Pour ice cream into cups until they are ¾ full, then freeze for at least 3 hours. (There may be some ice cream leftover after filling the cups.)
CHOCOLATE GANACHE
Place chocolate chips in a small bowl. Heat whipping cream to just a boil, then pour over chocolate chips. Allow mixture to sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Allow ganache to cool slightly. Pour ganache over the tops of the frozen cup pies and return the cups to the freezer to allow the ganache to set, at least 15 minutes.
WHIPPED CREAM
Whip cream and sugar until stiff peaks form. Top ice cream cups with whipped cream and the re-mainder of the crushed malted milk balls. Serve immediately or freeze until ready to serve.
TIP: Mint leaves or maraschino cherries make a nice garnish for this lovely dessert.
