Cinnamon Ice Cream (No Churn)
Learn how to make creamy no churn cinnamon ice cream at home - the perfect fall dessert! Just a few ingredients for this easy homemade treat. No machine needed!
Equipment
- handheld electric mixer, or stand mixer, for whipping cream
- 9x5-inch loaf pan, or 8-cup freezer safe container
Ingredients
- 1 whole vanilla bean, or 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, or 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk (1 can)
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon, use more or less, to taste, depending on the type/strength (see notes)
- kosher salt
- 2 cups heavy cream
Instructions
- If using a whole vanilla bean, split the vanilla bean lengthwise using a sharp knife, and scrape out the seeds. Stir the seeds, ground cinnamon, and a generous pinch of kosher salt with the sweetened condensed milk in a large bowl.
- In another large bowl, beat the heavy cream using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. (Or, use a stand mixer with whisk attachment.)
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk until fully combined, being careful not to deflate the cream.
- Pour the mixture into a 9x5 inch loaf pan or another 8-cup volume container. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or until firm.
Notes
- Type of cinnamon – Jars of cinnamon in the grocery store spice aisle are likely one of the cassia varieties which includes Saigon/Vietnamese cinnamon. Ceylon cinnamon is more mild, but not as easy to find. You can use any cinnamon variety and adjust the amount based on its intensity.
- How much cinnamon – You may start by adding 1 tablespoon of cinnamon to the sweetened condensed milk, and add a teaspoon more at a time until you’re happy with the spice level. The fat in the whipped cream will temper the cinnamon flavor, so you don’t want to go too light. You can add more cinnamon after folding the whipped cream and condensed milk together, but just be careful not to stir all the air out of the mixture.
