Cinnamon Applejack Ice Cream Recipes

HOMEMADE APPLE CINNAMON ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and salt until well-combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until thoroughly chilled.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Toss the apples with the brown sugar and spices and add to the skillet. Cook, stirring often, until the apples are tender, about 2-3 mins. Remove from the heat and let cool. Cover and refrigerate along with the cream base.
• Prior to making the ice cream, whisk the cream base a few times, and pour into an 1-1/2 quart capacity ice cream machine. Follow the manufacturer's instructions, and churn until the ice cream is frozen and fluffy, about the consistency of soft-serve (generally 20-25 minutes). About three to five minutes before the ice cream is ready, or when the ice cream looks like it is mostly set up, carefully pour in the cinnamon-apple mixture, and continue churning.
• Spoon the ice cream into freezer-safe containers, and for a firmer texture, cover and freeze for an hour or two.

CINNAMON ICE CREAM WITH CINNAMON CRISPS

Steps:

• For the cinnamon ice cream: In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the half-and-half and sugar. Stir it around to combine and allow to warm. Next, add the vanilla extract and cinnamon sticks. Stir the mixture around and heat it up until it's hot but not boiling.
• Add the egg yolks to a medium bowl and whisk them vigorously until slightly lighter in color, about 2 minutes.
• Remove the cinnamon sticks from the half-and-half mixture and discard. Grab a ladle of the hot half-and-half mixture and drizzle it very slowly into the yolks, whisking constantly. This will temper the egg yolks so that they don't scramble when they're added to the pan. Add another ladle of the hot liquid, and when it's mixed in, pour the egg mixture slowly into the pan with the half-and-half mixture, stirring with a spoon. Stir and cook it until the mixture is thick and coating the spoon, for 2 minutes or so.
• Set a fine-mesh strainer over a clean glass bowl and strain the custard. Don't worry if it looks a little lumpy. Add the heavy cream to the bowl and stir to combine. Finally, whisk in the ground cinnamon, and then cover the bowl and refrigerate until completely cool.
• Pour the cooled mixture into an ice cream maker and process according to your machine's instructions. When it's finished churning, it will still be in the soft-serve stage. Transfer the mixture to a freezer container and place in the freezer until it's frozen firm, for several hours.
• For the cinnamon crisps: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Place the tortillas on a baking sheet and brush both sides with the butter. Sprinkle both sides of the tortillas generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
• Bake until golden brown and crisp, about 15 minutes, and then allow them to cool to room temperature. Break into large pieces and set aside.
• Serve the ice cream with the cinnamon crisps.

CINNAMON ICE CREAM II

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together the heavy cream and sour cream. Set aside in a warm place for about an hour to thicken.
• In a separate bowl, beat eggs with sugar using an electric mixer until pale. Stir in the milk and cinnamon, and transfer to a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. Stir in the vanilla, and remove from the heat. Set aside to cool.
• When the custard has cooled, stir in the sour cream mixture. Freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

CINNAMON ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Heat milk, cream, and vanilla seeds and pod in a medium saucepan over medium heat until bubbles begin to form around edges. Remove from heat, cover, and let cream mixture steep at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Prepare an ice-water bath. Uncover cream mixture, and reheat until hot but not boiling. Whisk yolks, sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Add hot cream mixture in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly until well combined. Return mixture to saucepan, and stir constantly over medium heat until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 8 minutes. (Do not let the mixture come to a simmer.)
• Strain mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl. Discard vanilla pod. Set the bowl in the ice-water bath. Let cool, stirring occasionally, until cold, about 20 minutes.
• Freeze mixture in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions. Transfer to a large container, and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.

CINNAMON ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium-low heat, stir together the sugar and half-and-half. When the mixture begins to simmer, remove from heat, and whisk half of the mixture into the eggs. Whisk quickly so that the eggs do not scramble. Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan, and stir in the heavy cream. Continue cooking over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. Remove from heat, and whisk in vanilla and cinnamon. Set aside to cool.
• Pour cooled mixture into an ice cream maker, and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.

CINNAMON ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium heat, heat the half-and-half, cream, vanilla, cinnamon stick and ground cinnamon, whisking occasionally to make sure the mixture doesn?t burn or stick to the bottom of the pan. When the cream mixture reaches a fast simmer (do not let it boil), turn off the heat and let the flavors infuse for 10 minutes.
• Whisk together the egg yolks and the sugar. In a thin stream, whisk half of the cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Then pour the egg-cream mixture back into the saucepan containing the rest of the cream mixture. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. At 160 degrees, the mixture will give off a puff of steam. When the mixture reaches 180 degrees it will be thickened and creamy, like eggnog. If you don?t have a thermometer, test it by dipping a wooden spoon into the mixture. Run your finger down the back of the spoon. If the stripe remains clear, the mixture is ready; if the edges blur, the mixture is not quite thick enough yet. When it is ready, quickly remove it from the heat.
• Meanwhile, in a bowl, put two handfuls of ice cubes in the bottom, and add cold water to cover. Rest a smaller bowl in the ice water. Pour the cream mixture through a fine sieve or chinois (to remove the vanilla bean pieces and cinnamon sticks) and into the smaller bowl. Chill 3 hours, then continue according to the directions of your ice cream maker.

CINNAMON APPLEJACK ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Scrape seeds from vanilla bean into a 2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan and add pod, half-and-half, cream, and cinnamon. Heat just to boiling over moderate heat.
• Meanwhile, whisk together yolks and sugar. Whisk one third of hot cream mixture into yolks to temper egg, then whisk egg mixture into remaining cream mixture and cook over moderately low heat, stirring constantly, just until mixture registers 175°F on an instant-read thermometer.
• Immediately transfer custard to a metal bowl set in a larger bowl of ice and cold water and cool, stirring occasionally. Chill, covered, at least 8 hours to blend flavors.
• Pour custard through a sieve into a bowl and stir in brandy. Freeze in ice-cream maker, then transfer to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden.

HOMEMADE CINNAMON ICE CREAM (PAULA DEEN)

Steps:

• In a 2-quart saucepan, combine half-and half and cinnamon sticks.
• Cook for 20 minutes over low heat (do not boil).
• Remove cinnamon sticks and chill milk for 4 hours.
• With an electric mixer, beat whipping cream on high speed, until soft peaks form.
• Add the chilled sweetened condensed milk and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
• Add chilled half-and-half.
• Pour mixture into the canister for a 4-6 quart ice cream freezer. Add milk, if needed, to fill the canister to the freeze line.
• Freeze according to the ice cream maker's manufacturer's directions.

BROWN SUGAR & CINNAMON ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Place all ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Using a stand mixer or hand-held mixer, mix at low speed until all ingredients are incorporated. Then increase the speed a bit and mix until frothy.
• Into your ice cream machine's frozen churning tub, pour the mixture and churn for 15-18 minutes (or per your ice cream machine model's instructions) or until mixture resembles soft-serve ice cream.
• Using a rubber spatula, quickly turn ice cream into a freezer container. I prefer to use a rectangular, wide container and pour the mixture in 2 inches thick because the ice cream freezes more quickly this way. Freeze for 2-4 hours or until frozen solid or to your preferred consistency.
• Serve and enjoy!

APPLE CINNAMON PIE WITH VANILLA ICE CREAM
