Why You’ll Love This Recipe!
Several years ago we had 12 straight days of snow here in Portland. I originally posted this recipe back during that snow storm. We had been stuck in the house because of snow and ice and we needed a treat.
When I announced I was making ice cream for dessert my daughter replied, “It’s too cold!” My son, Logan’s reply was “It’s never too cold for ice cream!” I have to agree with Logan and I decided cinnamon ice cream was the perfect flavor for a cold weather day. Kind of like eating a cold cinnamon roll!

How to Serve Ice Cream
Ice Cream Sandwich. The first time I ever had this flavor ice cream was in an ice cream sandwich. The ice cream sandwich was made with chocolate chip cookies. The flavor combo was amazing.
Fruit Crisp. It’s the perfect thing to put on top of any flavor of crisp. Two of our favorites are Apple Crisp and Triple Berry Crisp.Pie. It’s amazing on Apple Pie, Razzleberry Pie, Pumpkin Pie and Fresh Blueberry Pie.Cobbler. Our favorite cobbler is this Marionberry Cobbler.
And of course you can must enjoy a scoop of it all by itself!
Frequently Asked Questions
ICE CREAM MAKER: This 2 qt. Counter top ice cream maker is one of my favorite kitchen appliances. I recently upgraded to this Breville Ice Cream Compressor.
INSULATED ICE CREAM TUB: After churning my ice cream I put it into this freezer-safe container and then into the freezer. It keeps the ice cream smooth and easy to scoop.
If stored in a good insulated container the ice cream will last for a 1-2 weeks.
Ice Cream Tips
- Use a good quality cinnamon. Cinnamon is the star of the show here!
- I use ground cinnamon, not cinnamon sticks.
- Vary the flavor a bit by combining cinnamon with other spices such as ginger, nutmeg, cloves or cardamon.
- Cinnamon and chocolate are also a good combo so add in some chocolate chips or drizzle cinnamon ice cream with hot fudge sauce.
