Indulge in a delightful blend of rich dark chocolate and aromatic cinnamon with this homemade cinnamon chocolate ice-cream recipe. Perfect for those seeking a unique twist on classic chocolate ice cream, this recipe is both flavorful and easy to make.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, heavy whipping cream, and the cinnamon stick.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it just starts to simmer. This should take about 5-10 minutes.
- Once it starts to simmer, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the cinnamon to infuse its flavor into the mixture.
- While the milk mixture is infusing, in a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture becomes pale and slightly thick. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the cinnamon stick from the milk mixture.
- Slowly pour a ladleful of the warm milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs. This prevents the yolks from curdling.
- Gradually add the rest of the milk mixture, whisking continuously.
- Pour the combined mixture back into the saucepan.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to let it boil.
- Once thickened, remove from heat and immediately strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any solids.
- While the custard is still warm, add the chopped dark chocolate and ground cinnamon.
- Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, making sure the wrap touches the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to chill thoroughly.
- Once the mixture is thoroughly chilled, pour it into an ice-cream maker.
- Churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically around 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Transfer the churned ice-cream into an airtight container.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- When ready to serve, let the ice-cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
- Scoop, serve, and enjoy your homemade Cinnamon Chocolate Ice-Cream!
Tips:
- Make sure to temper the egg yolks slowly by gradually adding the hot milk mixture to avoid curdling.
- For a smoother texture, strain the custard mixture before chilling it.
- Allow the mixture to cool completely before placing it in the ice cream maker to ensure a smoother, creamier texture.
- Experiment with different types of chocolate to adjust the bitterness and richness to your preference.
- Store the ice cream in an airtight container to prevent ice crystals from forming and to maintain its creamy texture.
And there you have it – a creamy, flavorful cinnamon chocolate ice-cream that’s sure to impress your family and friends. Enjoy this delightful treat on its own or pair it with your favorite dessert for an added touch of decadence.
