We recently stayed at the Hyatt Carmel Highlands Inn overlooking Big Sur. Their Sunset Lounge served me the biggest surprise ever, homemade cinnamon ice cream! It was absolutely delicious! I never thought of it before but after tasting it, I knew I had to create a cinnamon ice cream recipe for everyone to make at home. Choose between cinnamon gelato and cinnamon ice cream. Enjoy!
Flavoring
While the ice cream that I ate in Carmel looked just like vanilla ice cream, there were no speckles of ground cinnamon. I first tried steaming milk with cinnamon sticks, hoping they would flavor the milk, but it didn’t work. So, the restaurant must have flavored vanilla ice cream with something like Lorann Oils Cinnamon Flavoring.
Meanwhile, to keep costs down for you, I made a different recipe using ground cinnamon. I hope you enjoy it.
Ice Cream vs. Gelato
Gelato contains more fat such as cream and/or egg yolks. That’s what gives it that rich flavor. So, while the recipe below is a gelato, you can replace some of the egg yolks and/or cream with milk to reduce the fat.
What Does Guar Gum Do?
If you like your ice cream a little chewy, adding gum such as guar or xanthan creates that texture. It also thickens the custard more prior to freezing. Gum also reduces the number of ice crystals from forming.
