Note
For best results, ensure the ice cream is softened enough to mix but not melted, to maintain a creamy texture.
If specific malted milk balls are unavailable, you can substitute with crushed malted milk cereal or malted milk powder mixed into the cream.
Store the pie in the freezer. Allow it to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving to make slicing easier.
Garnish with additional whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired.
