The great thing about making ice cream so often is that it’s not such a daunting task.  It’s really quite easy to make for a quick dessert after a weeknight meal with friends.  When the weather is warm (we don’t have AC) it’s a little more difficult to do it quickly, but it’s still very yummy and adds that special homemade feel.

I usually make ice cream for our weekly croquet gathering, but this week I wanted to make ice cream for some friends who joined us for a weeknight dinner at home.  I wanted something that was easy but a little different.  I thought about adding berries or simply making vanilla.  BUT, we forgot the berries at the store and I felt like plain, vanilla was not very exciting.  So, I went with cinnamon and it turned out really well!

I used the “With Eggs” base recipe and added 1.5 t cinnamon with the vanilla.  Be sure you whisk all the ingredients very thoroughly so that the cinnamon is evenly distributed.  It would have been fabulous with a crunchy, little cookie.  Anyone have cookie suggestions that might go with cinnamon ice cream?  Yummy!

Cheers,
