Instructions

Prepare the Custard Base

Combine 1 cup of low-fat milk and cornstarch in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and no lumps remain. Set aside.

Cook the Milk Mixture

In a medium saucepan, heat the remaining 1 1/2 cups of low-fat milk over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.

Thicken the Custard

Slowly whisk the cornstarch mixture into the simmering milk. Continue whisking constantly until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This will take about 2-3 minutes.

Incorporate Jamun and Sweetener

Remove from heat and stir in the jamun pulp and sugar substitute. Add vanilla extract and salt, if using. Stir well to combine.

Cool and Freeze

Transfer the mixture to an airtight container. Allow to cool completely in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Once cooled, freeze for 3-4 hours.

Blend and Freeze Again

Remove the partially frozen mixture and blend using an immersion blender or in a regular blender until smooth and creamy. Return the mixture to the container and freeze for another 6-8 hours, or until completely solid.

Serve

Remove from freezer 10-15 minutes before serving. Scoop and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Jamun Ice Cream

For a smoother texture, strain the jamun pulp through a fine-mesh sieve before adding it to the custard base.
If you don't have a sugar substitute, you can use a small amount of regular sugar, but be mindful of the sugar content.
For a richer flavor, use full-fat milk, but be aware that this will increase the overall calorie and fat content.
Experiment with adding other flavors like cardamom or rosewater for a unique twist!
