Ingredients
Scale
Ice Cream Base
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Whisk vigorously until the brown sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the overall flavor of the ice cream base.
- Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly chilled. This step is crucial to ensure a smooth texture when churning.
- Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes, until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Freeze Until Firm: Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours to harden to scoopable consistency.
- Serve: Scoop the creamy brown sugar cinnamon ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy immediately or store in the freezer for later indulgence.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
- If you do not have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow container and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes until firm to reduce ice crystals.
- Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness, if desired.
- This ice cream pairs wonderfully with apple pie or as a topping for warm desserts.
- Adjust cinnamon quantity to taste; start with 1 tablespoon and increase for stronger flavor.
