🥗Healthier: cornstarch

💰Cheaper: flour

Cornstarch thickens without added flavors.

Measure 1/2 cup of custard powder and set aside.

Dissolve milk powder in water until it sums up to 1 1/2 cups of milk and set aside.

In a pot, add the dissolved milk and custard powder.

Stir on low to medium heat until thickened, then turn off the heat.

Add in condensed milk and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

If the mixture is too thick, add water or evaporated milk to lighten it.

Taste the mixture to ensure sweetness and creaminess are to your liking.

Pour the ice cream base into lylons or disposable cups, adding popsicle sticks if desired.

Tie the lylons carefully and repeat until all ice cream base is used.

Freeze overnight or for at least 6 hours before serving.
