Delicious Cinnamon Ice Cream Recipe - Creamy & Flavorful

1. 1

   Combine Ingredients

   In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract.

   Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved.
2. 2

   Heat Mixture

   Heat the mixture over medium heat until it begins to steam, but do not let it boil.

   Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
3. 3

   Whisk Egg Yolks

   In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are pale and slightly thickened.

   This will help temper the yolks later.
4. 4

   Temper the Egg Yolks

   Slowly pour about a cup of the hot cream mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly to prevent scrambling.

   This process is called tempering.
5. 5

   Combine and Cook

   Pour the yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture and cook over low heat, stirring until thickened.

   The mixture should coat the back of a spoon.
6. 6

   Chill the Mixture

   Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then transfer to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

   Chilling helps develop the flavor.
7. 7

   Churn Ice Cream

   Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.

   This usually takes about 20-30 minutes.
8. 8

   Freeze

   Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze until firm.

   This may take an additional 4 hours.
