Ingredients
Scale
Ice Cream Base
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Whisk together thoroughly until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is evenly combined to ensure consistent flavor throughout.
- Chill the Mixture: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. This step helps the flavors to meld and ensures the mixture is very cold for optimal churning results.
- Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, or until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Freeze to Firm Up: Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to harden to a scoopable consistency.
- Serve: Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping. Enjoy your homemade Brown Sugar Cinnamon Ice Cream as a delightful dessert or snack!
Notes
- For a stronger cinnamon flavor, you can toast the cinnamon briefly in a dry pan before mixing.
- Use dark brown sugar for a deeper molasses flavor.
- If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can place the mixture in a shallow dish and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals until firm.
- Adding a pinch of salt can help balance the sweetness and enhance the cinnamon flavor.
