Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and cornstarch until well combined.
Gradually add 1 cup of skim milk to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to form a smooth paste.
Pour the remaining 3 cups of skim milk into a medium saucepan and place it over medium heat.
Slowly add the cocoa mixture to the saucepan, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
Cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until it thickens and just starts to bubble, about 10-15 minutes.
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.
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.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches the desired consistency.
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.
Serve and enjoy your homemade low-fat chocolate ice cream!
