Equipment

  • Large saucepan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Fine mesh strainer
  • Ice cream maker
  • Airtight container

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Cups Heavy Cream
  • 1 Cup Whole Milk
  • 3/4 Cup Dark Brown Sugar
  • 5 Large Egg Yolks
  • 2 Tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 Tsp Salt

Instructions
 

  • Whisk your egg yolks in a medium bowl. Add half of the brown sugar to them. Beat them until the mixture looks pale yellow.
  • Pour the cream and milk into your saucepan. Add the remaining brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir them over medium heat until very warm.
  • Slowly pour a little warm milk into the eggs. Whisk constantly so the eggs do not cook. This process is called tempering the eggs.
  • Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan. Cook it slowly on low heat now. Stir until it coats the back of a spoon.
  • Strain the custard into a clean bowl. Stir in the vanilla and salt. Let it cool down to room temperature first.
  • Cover the bowl and chill it overnight. Cold liquid churns better in the machine. This step is very important for texture.
  • Pour the cold mix into your ice cream maker. Let it churn for about twenty minutes. It should look like soft-serve ice cream.
  • Transfer the ice cream to a cold container. Smooth the top with a flat spatula. Freeze it for four hours until firm.

Notes

  • Use fresh spices for the strongest cinnamon aroma.
  • Do not boil the custard or eggs might scrap.
  • Chill your storage container before adding the ice cream.
  • Always use full-fat dairy for the best results.
  • Add a splash of bourbon for extra depth.
  • Keep the freezer bowl frozen for 24 hours.
  • Whisk the eggs very well for a light base.
