Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Low-fat milk
- 1 cup Low-fat heavy cream substitute (plant-based cream or half-and-half)
- 0.5 cup Granulated erythritol or a low-calorie sweetener of choice
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk or water (for cornstarch slurry)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the low-fat milk, low-fat heavy cream substitute, granulated erythritol, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk the mixture until the sweetener is dissolved and the liquid is warmed (do not bring it to a boil).
In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch with the unsweetened almond milk or water to make a slurry. Mix until smooth.
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
Continue cooking the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly. This should take about 2-3 minutes. The mixture should coat the back of a spoon but remain pourable.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature. Then, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into your electric ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This typically takes 20-25 minutes.
Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for 2-4 hours to allow it to firm up before serving.
Serve the cinnamon ice cream in bowls or cones and enjoy your guilt-free treat!
