Cinnamon Ice Cream Recipe

It's tough to find cinnamon ice cream in stores, but thanks to this super-simple trick, you don't need an ice cream maker to serve this fantastic flavor. Simply add ground cinnamon to your favorite vanilla ice cream. The warm notes of this heady spice married with the cold, smooth ice cream might bring back pleasant memories from your youth. The proportions are given for a single serving, but you easily can adjust the spice for larger quantities of ice cream. If you want to stir up a whole container of ice cream with cinnamon, you should let it soften for a bit in the refrigerator. Don't let it melt for too long or you'll be having cinnamon soup instead of ice cream. You'll need 1/8 teaspoon to 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon for every cup of ice cream. Cinnamon ice cream is a great accompaniment for apple pie and other fruit desserts. It can dress up a fruitcake for the holidays or go perfectly with pumpkin pie on thanksgiving. Try a dollop of cinnamon ice cream in your coffee or on top of a hot coffee cocktail or with hot apple cider with a cinnamon stick for mixing or swirling.
