Ingredients

• 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 4 cups Skim milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups Dark chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and cornstarch until well combined.

Step 2

Gradually add 1 cup of skim milk to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to form a smooth paste.

Step 3

Pour the remaining 3 cups of skim milk into a medium saucepan and place it over medium heat.

Step 4

Slowly add the cocoa mixture to the saucepan, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.

Step 5

Cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until it thickens and just starts to bubble, about 10-15 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. If desired, mix in the optional dark chocolate chips until melted and smooth.

Step 7

Allow the mixture to cool completely to room temperature. To speed up the process, transfer it to a shallow dish and place it in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.

Step 8

Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches the desired consistency.

Step 9

Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your homemade low-fat chocolate ice cream!
