Ingredients
- 500 ml Low-fat milk (1% or skim)
- 120 ml Low-fat cream (also known as light cream)
- 100 g Granulated sugar
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 50 ml of the low-fat milk until smooth. Set aside as the slurry will act as a thickening agent.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the remaining 450 ml of low-fat milk, the low-fat cream, and granulated sugar. Stir continuously to dissolve the sugar.
Step 3
Once the mixture starts to steam (but is not boiling), add the cornstarch slurry. Stir constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Step 4
Increase the heat slightly and continue stirring until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 5
Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 6
Pour the mixture into a shallow container and allow it to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until completely chilled.
Step 7
Once chilled, transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes, until the ice cream reaches your desired consistency.
Step 8
If you prefer a firmer texture, transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours before serving.
Step 9
Serve the Low Fat Vanilleeis in bowls or cones and enjoy this light and creamy treat!
