Cinnamon ice cream is a real little winter treat that immediately evokes the warmth and comfort of Christmas spices. Whether you enjoy it alone or with a hot dessert, it has that little taste of winter that makes you want to snuggle up under a blanket with a good cup of tea. And the good news? It’s super simple to prepare! If you have guests or simply want something sweet, this recipe will be a real success.
Ingredients :
- 200 ml whole cream (or vegetable cream for a lactose-free option)
- 100 ml of milk (or almond milk)
- 2 tablespoons of cane sugar (or maple syrup)
- 2 teaspoons of cinnamon powder (you can adjust according to your taste)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional, but it gives a little extra)
- A pinch of nutmeg (optional for a more complex taste)
Preparation :
- Mix the cream and milk :
In a bowl, mix the cream and milk. This mixture will be the creamy base of your ice cream. If you use almond or coconut milk, the touch of cinnamon will go perfectly with these flavors! - Add the sugar and spices :
Incorporate the cane sugar (or maple syrup) and cinnamon . If you want to add even more heat, you can add a pinch of nutmeg . Stir well so that the spices are well diffused in the mixture. - Taste :
I advise you to taste the mixture at this stage. Cinnamon is quite potent, so adjust to your preference. You can also add a little more sugar if you like your ice cream sweeter. - Freezing :
Pour the mixture into the jar of your Ninja Creami and put it in the freezer for 24 hours. If you're impatient, I understand, but you really have to get it right! - Transformation into ice cream :
Once the mixture is frozen, use the “Ice” mode on your Ninja Creami to transform this spicy base into a creamy and tasty ice cream. If you want little swirls of cinnamon in your ice cream, add a little after the first cycle and restart the “Mix-in” mode.
Tips for serving:
- Accompaniments : This cinnamon ice cream is divine on its own, but it becomes incredible with warm apple pie , chocolate fondant , or even pancakes . The hot-cold contrast is just perfect!
- Decoration : Add a little cinnamon powder on top or even cookie pieces (like speculoos) for a little texture.
Why is this recipe special?
Cinnamon is truly the comforting spice par excellence . It provides instant heat which contrasts wonderfully with the freshness of the ice cream. And since this recipe is so simple to prepare, it's a great way to add a festive touch to any dessert or gourmet moment.
Cinnamon ice cream is a classic that never disappoints, especially in winter. It's full of comforting, spicy flavors, and with Ninja Creami , you get a creamy texture worthy of the best homemade ice cream.
