Recipe Information
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
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of the low-fat milk with the cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
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.
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.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the low-fat evaporated milk, vanilla extract, salt, and butter extract until fully combined.
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.
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.
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to allow it to firm up before serving.
Serve and enjoy your creamy, low-fat butterscotch ice cream!
