In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, and ground cinnamon. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir occasionally until the mixture is hot and steaming, but not boiling (about 5-7 minutes).
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until the mixture is thick and pale, about 2 minutes.
Gradually temper the egg yolks by slowly adding about 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture while whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture. Stir constantly over medium-low heat until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-8 minutes. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any curdled bits. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
Refrigerate the custard until completely chilled, at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
Once chilled, pour the custard into your electric ice cream machine and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically 20-25 minutes.
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.
Serve the cinnamon ice cream in bowls or cones, and enjoy!
