Add milk, vanilla extract, and seeds from vanilla bean* to blender (reserve vanilla bean pod for another use).

Add ice cream, and malted milk powder to blender.
Cover and blend until thick and creamy, pushing ice cream into blades as needed.
Divide milk shake between chilled glasses.
Top each milk shake with crushed malted milk balls and serve with a straw and long spoon.
