Cinnamon Ice Cream

Luscious, creamy and very delicious. Packed with cinnamon flavor!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup White, granulated sugar
  • 1 cup Half and Half
  • 1 cup Whole milk, divided in half
  • 2 large Eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup Heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla extract or vanilla paste
  • 2 tsp. Cinnamon, heaping teaspoons

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk the eggs. Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, stir together the white sugar, half and half and 1/2 cup of milk.
  • When the mixture begins to simmer, remove it from the heat and very slowly, in a steady stream whisk half of the warm mixture into the beaten eggs.
  • Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan and stir in the heavy cream and remaining 1/2 cup of milk. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly until the mixture is starting to thicken and temperature reaches 170 degrees; about 10 minutes.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in vanilla and cinnamon. Pour the ice cream base into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to avoid a skin from forming. Refrigerate until completely cool or overnight.
  • Pour the cooled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn approximately 30 minutes or according to manufacturers instructions.
  • Once the ice cream has finished churning, move it into a glass bowl, cover and freeze for a couple of hours before serving.
  • Take out of the freezer about 10 minutes before scooping.
