Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Low-fat milk
- 1 cup Evaporated skim milk
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine low-fat milk, evaporated skim milk, and granulated sugar. Stir well and place over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with a few tablespoons of the milk mixture to create a smooth slurry.
Add the slurry back into the saucepan while stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Continue stirring the mixture as it heats up until it starts to thicken, around 5-7 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until fully integrated.
Let the mixture cool to room temperature by transferring it to a clean bowl and covering it with plastic wrap to avoid a skin forming.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until completely cold.
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes.
Transfer the soft ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for at least 1-2 hours to firm it up before serving.
Serve with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for an extra touch of flavor.
