Prep Time:
15 mins
Total Time:
2 hrs 45 mins
Servings:
8 servings, 1/2 cup each
Ingredients
-
1 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
-
1 tablespoon water
-
3 cups low-fat milk, divided
-
3 large egg yolks
-
1 14-ounce can nonfat sweetened condensed milk
-
1 vanilla bean
-
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
1.
Sprinkle gelatin over water in a small bowl; let stand, stirring once or twice, while you make the base for the ice cream.
2.
Pour 1 1/2 cups milk into a large saucepan. Cut vanilla bean in half lengthwise; scrape the seeds into the milk and add the pod.
3.
Heat the milk mixture over medium heat until steaming. Whisk egg yolks and condensed milk in a medium bowl. Gradually pour in the hot milk, whisking until blended. Return the mixture to the pan and cook over medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the back of the spoon is lightly coated, 3 to 5 minutes. Do not bring to a boil or the custard will curdle.
4.
Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean large bowl. Add the softened gelatin and whisk until melted. Whisk in the remaining 1 1/2 cups milk. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours.
5.
Whisk the ice cream mixture and pour into the canister of an ice cream maker. Freeze according to manufacturer's directions. During the last 5 minutes of freezing, add blueberries and cinnamon to the ice cream maker. If necessary, place the ice cream in the freezer to firm up before serving.
