Make sure you have extra-fine ground cinnamon, or use a mortar and pestle to make sure it doesn’t turn out too gritty. Toasting your cinnamon first will help bring out the flavor.

2 cups heavy whipping cream1 14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons of cinnamon
A pinch of salt

For those who do have an ice cream machine (this recipe is harder since you have to make custard)
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
A pinch of salt
4 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2. In a separate bowl, whisk yolks together. Whisking constantly, slowly add a third of the hot cream into the yolks, then whisk the mixture back into the pot with the cream. (Make sure your batter doesn’t curdle.)
3. Continue to cook over medium-low heat until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
4. Cool mixture to room temperature. Cover and chill for at least four hours or overnight. Churn in an ice cream machine according to manufacturers’ instructions. Store in the freezer.
