How to Make Healthier Vanilla Ice Cream
- In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, cream, and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is warm.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and a little bit of the warm milk mixture until smooth to prevent lumps. Pour this mixture into the saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a simmer.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
- Pour the mixture into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap (pressing the plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming), and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to thoroughly chill.
- Once chilled, pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes.
- Once churned, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to allow it to harden further.
