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