• Cinnamon red hot candies
• Heavy cream
• Whole milk

Directions

1. In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and half of the granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and the remaining granulated sugar until light and creamy.
3. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking continuously to temper the eggs.
4. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
6. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove any lumps or cooked egg bits.
7. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
8. Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
9. During the last few minutes of churning, add the cinnamon red hot candies, crushing them slightly before adding to the ice cream.
10. Transfer the churned ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for a few hours to firm up before serving.
11. Scoop the cinnamon red hot ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy the spicy and sweet flavors!
