Cinnamon Spice Ice Cream – A Taste of Philadelphia Tradition

Savor the indulgence of rich, creamy homemade cinnamon ice cream, requiring mere minutes of your time and attention. Yes, PLEASE!

To craft a straightforward and delectable cinnamon ice cream, I modified my trusty vanilla ice cream recipe by judiciously increasing the amount of cinnamon to create an unmistakable spicy kick on initial consumption, which gradually deepens into a lingering warmth throughout the palate.

Cinnamon Ice Cream

The first time I crafted Cinnamon Ice Cream, it left me utterly mesmerized – the harmonious fusion of flavors was nothing short of remarkable, and my entire clan swooned over its creamy goodness.

While that French-style ice cream is a delight, I must confess that it’s not my go-to choice when I crave cinnamon ice cream, as the custard base can be quite time-consuming to prepare?

Cinnamon ice cream will become a regular feature in my culinary landscape. Sweet indulgences dance before my eyes: warm peach cobbler, flaky apple tarts, and crunchy berry delights, each perfectly paired with the cool, spicy kiss of cinnamon ice cream.

Philadelphia Style Ice Cream

I’m a sucker for Philadelphia-style ice cream, also affectionately known as New York or American ice cream. Philadelphia-style ice cream is typically defined by its lack of eggs as a primary ingredient, resulting in a lighter and more approachable flavor profile compared to other types of ice cream.

Throughout my culinary journey, I’ve had the pleasure of indulging in a variety of sumptuous custard-based ice cream concoctions, expertly crafted with eggs as their foundation. While we’re accustomed to less decadent ice cream flavors, their richness means they aren’t often produced at our residence.

Besides being honest, I’ll admit that simplicity is often my go-to approach when cooking, as it allows me to keep recipes straightforward and uncomplicated. Given the absence of enthusiasm for making ice cream from scratch, I’m inclined to take a shortcut by whipping up a store-bought mix instead?

The simple pleasure of homemade custard-style ice cream: a delightful treat that’s often overshadowed by the tedious process required to create it. The sweet aroma of caramelized sugar and toasted milk wafts through my senses, yet I’m simultaneously reminded of the tedium that comes with standing watch over the stove, stirring and waiting for the custard to chill in perfect harmony. Simplifying ice cream recipes is a breeze with my trusty whisk by my side.

Cinnamon Spice Ice Cream

To prepare this dish, you will require the following essential components:

• heavy cream
• milk
• sugar
• ground cinnamon
• kosher salt
• vanilla extract

To craft the perfect ice cream, blend together cream, milk, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and the essence of vanilla in a well-mixed bowl. Whisk the ingredients together thoroughly.

Chill the mixture to the recommended temperature before pouring it into the ice cream maker and proceeding with processing in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines. Once the ice cream has been fully churned and frozen solid, transfer it to an airtight, freezer-safe container.

This quick-to-make ice cream requires under five minutes to come together, allowing ample time to prepare a classic Southern Peach Cobbler or sweet Strawberry Rhubarb Crunch in anticipation of its creamy finish.

I paired this ice cream with Mexican Spice Fudge Brownies on its inaugural serving, discovering a match made in heaven. Savoring a spoonful of cinnamon ice cream atop a still-warm slice of this luscious Cranberry Apple Pie is an absolute must-try combination.
