If a smell can bring back memories, prepare to release a wave of holiday season nostalgia with this sumptuous cinnamon ice cream recipe. The warm, creamy texture and winter spice aromas will take you to a happy place that time has forgotten. Surprisingly, you can whip up this homemade ice cream recipe<\/a> in just a few hours.<\/p>\n For a more indulgent twist, if that were possible, add toasted cereal flakes to make a Cinnamon Toast Crunch ice cream that delivers a fun texture to match the flavor. Be warned: It\u2019s formidably rich, but what a way to cleanse the palate after a heavy holiday feast!<\/p>\n In a large heavy saucepan, gently heat the milk and sugar until small bubbles form around the edges of the pan. Transfer a small amount to the beaten eggs or egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent curdling. Stir over low heat until the custard reaches at least 160\u00b0F and coats the back of a spoon.<\/p>\n Remove the custard base from the heat, transfer it to a bowl and place it in ice water for two minutes, stirring to dissipate the heat evenly. Stir in the cream, cinnamon powder and vanilla extract. Place waxed paper onto the surface of the custard to prevent it from forming a skin and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.<\/p>\n Fill the cylinder of an ice cream maker 2\/3 full with the cold custard mix and freeze according to the manufacturer\u2019s directions. You can return any remaining mixture to the refrigerator until you\u2019re ready to freeze. Once the ice cream has reached the desired consistency, transfer it to freezer containers and leave room for expansion. Freeze for another two to four hours until it\u2019s fully firm.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip<\/i>: Add a pinch of salt to the ice cream mix. Don\u2019t worry\u2014it won’t give you a salty dessert. It will subtly offset the sweetness, like in salted caramel.<\/p>\n Store homemade ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week. Any longer and the flavor may fade and the consistency will become more icy, especially if you\u2019re allowing the contents to thaw partly in between servings.<\/p>\n You have<\/em> to make the custard ahead of time (i.e. before freezing day) for the flavors to infuse, but you can also make the caramelized Cinnamon Toast Crunch a day ahead if you\u2019re making that variation. Just store the crunch in an airtight container in the refrigerator once cooled.<\/p>\n Think of any warm, comforting dessert, and there\u2019s a strong chance that a scoop or two of cinnamon ice cream on top will be right at home. The cinnamon harmonizes beautifully with hot apple pie, pumpkin pie or peach cobbler, but it\u2019s a curiously good match for fresh, tangy fall fruits and berries, too.<\/p>\n Too much water in the mix can lead to ice crystals forming, as can overmixing the custard or not chilling it enough before transferring it to the ice cream maker. Commercial ice creams use a variety of gums and emulsifiers so they don’t form crystals as easily. When making homemade ice cream, try adding an extra egg yolk since fat keeps the mixture smooth.<\/p>\n It is possible to make perfectly good ice cream without eggs! It will be more watery and less velvety, however. Thickening the custard with cornstarch can bind the ingredients. But use it sparingly as even a little will be palpable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This small-batch cinnamon ice cream recipe is perfect for a cozy night in.
