Homemade Ice Cream - Cinnamon Snickerdoodle Chunk flavor

I made homemade Cinnamon Snickerdoodle Chunk ice cream this past weekend, combining the delicious Snickerdoodle cookies from Pepperidge Farms with a Cinnamon ice cream base.



Here is how I made it:

Ingredients:

1 cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
1 cup heavy cream
2 cinnamon sticks
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 Pepperidge Farms Snickerdoodle cookies, broken into chunks

Stir the sugar and half-and-half together in a saucepan. Heat slowly over medium-low heat stirring frequently. When this mixture starts to simmer, remove from heat.

While the sugar and half-and-half are heating, combine the beaten eggs and heavy cream in a mixing bowl. Whisk them up well.

After removing the sugar and half-and-half from the heat, slowly add small amounts to the egg and cream mixture, stirring constantly. Add a little of the warm mix at a time so you do not scramble the egg mix. Take your time. Keep adding the warm mix to the egg and cream mix until you have added it all, stirring the whole time.

Put the combined mixture into the saucepan, add the two cinnamon sticks and heat again over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Stir until it is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon.

Remove from heat, and remove the cinnamon sticks.

Whisk in the vanilla and ground cinnamon, and refrigerate overnight.

Add to your ice cream maker following manufacturer's instructions. When the ice cream is nearly done, pour in the Snickerdoodle cookie chunks and there you have it: my recipe for homemade Cinnamon Snickerdoodle Chunk ice cream!


MMMMM! It was my best yet!

Enjoy!
