Day 158: Cinnamon Ice Cream

Day 158.

This is so good that, L, the neighbor girl says this is what she wants from us for her birthday. Funny girl. I like it over apple pie. Mmmm.

Here's what you'll need.
Photobucket
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups milk
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon cinnamon

Photobucket
Begin by combining the milk and sugar in a saucepan.

Photobucket
Let the mixture come to just a simmer.

Photobucket
Whisk a little bit of the mixture into eggs. This is called tempering. You do this so the hot liquid doesn't "scramble" your eggs. Once you've tempered the eggs with about half the mixture...

Photobucket
combine it all back into the saucepan.

Photobucket
Now stir in the heavy cream.

Photobucket
Cook until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Photobucket
Remove it from the heat and whisk in the vanilla.

Photobucket
Add the cinnamon.

Photobucket
And whisk until combined.

Photobucket
Transfer to a bowl, and chill completely.

Photobucket
Once the mix is chilled, hook up the mixer and go to town!

Photobucket
It always helps to have willing helpers that will get that last little bit out of the bowl. :)
