Last weekend I made this ice cream after coming across an article of a cornstarch (cornflour) based ice cream. I googled further and came across sicilian ice cream, made with milk and no cream and using cornflour as the base to stop ice crystals from forming. The taste was out of this world, it was like having sex, even better. It was like bought vanilla ice cream but far far better. I won't be going back to egg yolk based ice creams. Plus this one has less calories, making it even more appealing.

Sicilian gelato (Ice Cream)
3 cups whole milk (or 1 cup cream and 2 cups milk) 1/2 cup sugar 2 tablespoons cornflour pinch of salt 1 teaspoon vanilla essence (Queens)
Mix the the cornflour along with the sugar. In a sauce pan whisk together 200 ml of the milk with cornflour mix, making sure that there are no lumps. Blend in the remaining 500 ml of the milk, the salt and vanilla. Warm until steaming hot on medium heat. Barely reaching a boil, cook and stir until the mixture begins to thicken. Reduce the heat and continue to stir until the mixture has thickened even further. Take off from the heat and let the mixture cool down. Refrigerate for a couple of hours, and freeze according to the instructions of your ice cream machine.
Yield: 1 litre
Yoghurt – Substitute yogurt for half the milk.
Cherry – Add 1 cup halved, pitted cherries just before freezing.
Strawberry, Blueberry or Peach – Add 1 1/2 cups hulled, sliced strawberries, blueberries, or peeled and chopped peaches before freezing.
Coconut – 1 cup coconut milk for 1 cup cream or milk; add 1/2 cup toasted dried coconut if you like.
Chocolate – 1/3 cup cocoa powder mix withjust 1 1/2tbsp cornflour before adding to milk
Mint Chocolate Chip – Add 1 tsp natural peppermint essence, 2 drops green food coloring, and 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate just before freezing.
Nocciola Gelato (hazelnut) – 115 grams shelled hazelnuts, toasted and skinned, grind the hazelnuts to a very fine paste adding some of the milk. (add cocoa for a nutella flavour and the reduced amount of cornflour, as in chocolate)
Lemon – 3 tablespoons grated lemon peel. 3/4 cup lemon juice
Chocolate cinnamon – 1/3 cup cocoa, 1 teaspoon cinnamon added to cornflour
To Make Fudge Pops Divide the chilled gelato base among the ice pop molds and freeze overnight. These will have a slightly icy texture. (If you have an ice cream maker and would like fudge pops with a creamier texture, make the gelato in the ice cream maker as directed, before dividing it among the pop molds.)
