Ingredients
- 2 cups low-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup low-fat evaporated milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon butter extract
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of the low-fat milk with the cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the remaining 1 1/2 cups of low-fat milk and the light brown sugar. Stir constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture begins to steam, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Slowly whisk the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to simmer gently, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the low-fat evaporated milk, vanilla extract, salt, and butter extract until fully combined.
Step 5
Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for about 20 minutes, then cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
Step 6
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Step 7
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to allow it to firm up before serving.
Step 8
Serve and enjoy your creamy, low-fat butterscotch ice cream!
