Ingredients

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup milk
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 5 egg yolks

Preparation

1. In a large saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 170°F on a candy thermometer. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
2. While the cream mixture is heating, whisk the egg yolks in a separate mixing bowl until smooth and pale yellow.
3. Once the cream mixture has reached 170°F, gradually whisk about 1/3 of the hot mixture into the egg yolks, stirring constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
4. Pour the egg mixture slowly back into the saucepan, stirring constantly. Cook the mixture on medium-low heat for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Be sure to stir constantly to prevent the mixture from curdling or boiling over.
5. Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a mixing bowl. Press down on the solids with the back of a spoon or spatula to extract all the liquid.
6. Cover the mixture with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator until it’s completely cold, at least 4 hours or overnight.
7. Once the mixture is cold, transfer it to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it’s thick and creamy, about 20-30 minutes.
8. Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze it for at least 2 hours to allow it to firm up.
9. Serve the cinnamon ice cream with your favorite toppings like whipped cream, caramel, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
