Ingredients

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 4 egg yolks
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and whole milk. Heat over medium heat until it begins to steam, but do not let it boil.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and egg yolks until well combined.
3. Slowly pour the heated cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from cooking.
4. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This usually takes about 8-10 minutes.
5. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the ground cinnamon and vanilla extract. Mix well.
6. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing the plastic wrap directly against the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming.
7. Refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours or overnight, until it is completely chilled.
8. Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
9. Once the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
10. Scoop and serve the cinnamon ice cream in bowls or cones.
11. Enjoy this creamy and flavorful homemade cinnamon ice cream!
