Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh or frozen ube (purple yam), cooked and mashed
- 2 cups Low-fat milk
- 1 cup Low-fat coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon Natural ube extract
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the ube by cooking and mashing fresh or frozen purple yams until smooth. Measure out 1 cup of mashed ube and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the low-fat milk, low-fat coconut milk, and granulated sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously, until the sugar fully dissolves. Do not let it boil.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Gradually pour the slurry into the milk mixture while stirring to avoid lumps.
Step 4
Continue cooking the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (around 7–10 minutes). Remove the saucepan from the heat.
Step 5
Add the mashed ube and natural ube extract to the mixture. Use an immersion blender or whisk to mix thoroughly until smooth and uniform in color.
Step 6
Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 3 hours or overnight.
Step 7
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 8
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.
Step 9
Scoop and serve your low-fat ube ice cream. Enjoy!
