Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 ml Non-fat milk
- 200 ml Low-fat plain yogurt
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 1 Vanilla bean
- 80 g Granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, pour the non-fat milk and add the seeds scraped from the vanilla bean along with the pod itself. Heat the milk over medium heat until it just starts to steam, but do not let it boil.
While the milk is heating, whisk the egg yolks, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt in a separate bowl until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.
Remove the vanilla pod from the milk and gradually pour about 1/4 of the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs and prevent curdling.
Slowly pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining hot milk, whisking continuously.
Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula, until it thickens slightly and coats the back of the spoon. This should take about 8-10 minutes. Do not let the mixture boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the low-fat yogurt until fully incorporated. Allow the mixture to cool completely at room temperature before chilling it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
Once the mixture is fully chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically for 20-25 minutes, until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to allow it to firm up before serving.
Serve the low-fat vanilla ice cream on its own or with your favorite toppings for a delicious treat!
