Ingredients

• 2 cups Skim milk
• 0.5 cup Skimmed milk powder
• 0.5 cup Stevia or low-calorie sweetener
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Hazelnut extract
• 0.5 cup Chopped hazelnuts
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine skim milk and skimmed milk powder, whisking together until fully integrated. This will enhance the creaminess of the ice cream while keeping it low-fat.

Step 2

Add the stevia or low-calorie sweetener and salt, and continue to whisk the mixture over medium heat.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1/4 cup of the milk mixture to create a slurry. This will help thicken the ice cream base.

Step 4

Gradually pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan, whisking constantly. Continue to stir until the mixture begins to thicken, about 7-10 minutes, and then remove from heat.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract and hazelnut extract to infuse the base with their flavors. Allow the mixture to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until chilled thoroughly.

Step 6

Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually around 20-25 minutes.

Step 7

During the last 5 minutes of churning, add the chopped hazelnuts to the ice cream maker to incorporate them evenly throughout.

Step 8

Transfer the soft ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm.

Step 9

Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a minute or two for easier scooping. Enjoy your low-fat Avellana ice cream!
