Ingredients

• 60 grams Vanilla protein powder
• 500 milliliters Whole milk
• 250 milliliters Heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 large Egg yolks

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine milk, heavy cream, cinnamon, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it begins to steam, but do not let it boil. Remove from heat.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar and egg yolks until the mixture becomes pale and slightly thickened.

Step 3

Slowly pour about half a cup of the warm milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

Step 4

Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture, whisking constantly to combine.

Step 5

Return the saucepan to medium-low heat and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon. This should take about 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 7

Allow the custard base to cool slightly, then whisk in the vanilla protein powder until fully dissolved.

Step 8

Transfer the mixture to a fine-mesh sieve set over a large bowl to strain out any cooked egg pieces.

Step 9

Cover the custard with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until completely cold.

Step 10

Once chilled, churn the custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 11

Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving, or until firm.

Step 12

For serving, scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy!
