Baked apple and cinnamon ice cream is a bit like enjoying an apple pie, but frozen! The caramelized apples provide a comforting sweetness, while the cinnamon warms everything up with its spicy notes. A perfect ice cream for winter, delicious and easy to make.
What you need:
- 3 apples (Golden Delicious or Fuji preferred)
- 200 ml of full liquid cream
- 200 ml of whole milk
- 60 g of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 pinch of salt
Preparation :
1. Cook the apples
Start by peeling and dicing the apples. In a pan, melt the butter over medium heat, then add the apples and 30g of sugar. Cook gently until the apples are golden brown and caramelized, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with cinnamon and mix well. Let cool once the apples are tender and fragrant.
2. Prepare the ice cream base
In a saucepan, gently heat the milk, cream, and remaining sugar (30g) over medium heat. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved. If you want to sweeten it a bit, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract. A pinch of salt will help balance the flavors.
3. Stir in the caramelized apples
Once the apples have cooled completely, stir them into the cream and milk mixture. Mix well so the flavors blend and the caramelized apple permeates the entire base of the ice cream.
4. Let it cool
Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature. Once completely cool, refrigerate for about an hour to firm it up before freezing.
5. Freezing
Pour your mixture into the Ninja Creami container and place it in the freezer for 24 hours. The wait is worth it, as this allows the ice cream to set properly and develop all its flavors.
6. Turn into ice
The next day, place the tub in the Ninja Creami and select the "Ice Cream" mode. If you prefer an even creamier texture, you can add two spoonfuls of milk or cream and run another Re-spin cycle.
7. Tasting
Your ice cream is ready to enjoy! The sweetness of the caramelized apples and the warmth of the cinnamon blend perfectly. You can serve it with a drizzle of caramel or cookie crumbles for an extra touch of indulgence.
This baked apple and cinnamon ice cream is a truly comforting dessert, perfect for a winter evening or to add a touch of sweetness to any meal. Enjoy! 🍏
