Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 egg yolks
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, milk, and cinnamon. Stir to blend the cinnamon evenly.
Bring the mixture just to a simmer, then remove from heat and let it sit for about 10 minutes to cool slightly and allow the flavors to meld.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture becomes pale and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
Slowly add the warm milk and cream mixture to the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent the yolks from curdling.
Pour the mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 170°F, 77°C on a thermometer). Do not allow it to boil.
Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any cooked egg particles.
Stir in the salt and vanilla extract.
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until thoroughly chilled.
Churn the chilled custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Transfer the churned ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours or until firm before serving.
