Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Low-fat milk
- 0.5 cups Maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Toasted walnuts
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the low-fat milk, maple syrup, cornstarch, and salt until fully combined and smooth.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly. This should take about 6-8 minutes. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly cold.
Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This typically takes 20-25 minutes.
In the final moments of churning, add the toasted walnuts to the ice milk. Allow the machine to mix them in evenly.
Transfer the ice milk to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to allow it to firm up.
Scoop and serve the Low Fat Maple Walnut Ice Milk for a refreshing treat!
