Preparation Steps
1
In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, sugar, and ground cinnamon. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Do not boil.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually whisk in a small amount of the warm milk mixture to temper the eggs.
3
Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
4
Stir in the vanilla extract, then let it cool completely to room temperature.
5
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour it into a freezer-safe container and stir it every hour during the freezing process to prevent ice crystals from forming.
6
Freeze for at least 4-5 hours, or until firm. Before serving, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
