Begin by combining the cornstarch with a small amount of the skim milk in a small bowl. Mix until it forms a smooth paste.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the remaining skim milk and stevia powder. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the milk begins to steam.
Gradually whisk the cornstarch mixture into the heated milk. Continue to heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly, usually around 5-7 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the hazelnut extract, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well incorporated.
Add the low-fat Greek yogurt to the milk mixture, whisking until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Place the roasted hazelnuts in a food processor and pulse until they are coarsely chopped, leaving some texture for crunch.
Fold the chopped hazelnuts into the ice cream base, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft serve consistency.
Once churned to your desired consistency, transfer the ice cream to a lidded container. Freeze for at least 2-3 hours for a firmer texture before serving.
Before serving, allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
