Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of the granulated sugar, water, and ground cinnamon.
  2. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Remove the cinnamon syrup from heat and set aside to cool.
  4. In the top of a double boiler, scald the milk until it is hot but not boiling.
  5. Stir the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar into the hot milk until dissolved.
  6. Slowly pour the hot milk mixture over the beaten egg, whisking constantly to temper the egg and prevent curdling.
  7. Return the mixture to the top of the double boiler and cook over hot water, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly to a custard consistency.
  8. Remove from heat and let the custard cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until completely chilled.
  9. Once chilled, stir the prepared cinnamon syrup into the custard.
  10. Fold in the whipping cream and vanilla extract until well combined.
  11. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze until solid, stirring occasionally if possible for a smoother texture.

Note

For the smoothest texture, stir the mixture once or twice during the first few hours of freezing to break up ice crystals.

Ensure the milk is hot but not boiling when tempering the egg to avoid scrambling.

This dessert works best if made a day in advance, allowing it to firm up fully in the freezer.

You can add chopped nuts or chocolate chips when folding in the cream for added texture and flavor.
