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
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, milk, and cinnamon. Stir to blend the cinnamon evenly.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture becomes pale and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Slowly add the warm milk and cream mixture to the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent the yolks from curdling.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any cooked egg particles.
Step 7
Stir in the salt and vanilla extract.
Step 8
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until thoroughly chilled.
Step 9
Churn the chilled custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 10
Transfer the churned ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours or until firm before serving.
