Ingredients
This gluten-free, homemade, cinnamon ice cream is made with no eggs. It is made with only a few ingredients. You will need whole milk, heavy cream, sugar, a pinch of salt, and cinnamon powder.
Whole milk and heavy cream are the main ingredients that make the ice cream creamy. If you use low-fat milk then the ice cream will take longer to churn and will turn out to be less creamy.
Powdered cinnamon is used in this recipe. I have used the store-bought one. If you want, you can grind cinnamon sticks in a blender and make a fine powder. It will be best to sieve the powder in a strainer to ensure it is fine and smooth to the touch.
I have not used vanilla extract as I prefer to have the cinnamon flavor by itself. If you like a hint of vanilla in the ice cream, you can add a few drops.
Instructions
Making cinnamon ice cream at home is really very easy. It just takes a few minutes of your time and you can make a delicious and creamy ice cream for your friends and family with minimum effort.
In a mixing bowl, add milk, sugar, a pinch of salt, and cinnamon powder. Using the whisk attachment of a hand blender, blend everything well until the sugar is well dissolved.
Now add the heavy cream to the milk mixture and mix it with a spoon or a spatula. There is no need to whisk after adding the heavy whipping cream as the mixture will be churned in the ice cream machine.
Combine milk, sugar, salt, and cinnamon powder in a mixing bowl.
After blending, add the heavy cream.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about two hours for the flavors to seep in and then churn it in the ice cream machine. I have made this ice cream in the Cuisinart ICE 100 compressor ice cream maker and there is no need to freeze the bowl. Depending on the type of ice cream maker you may have to freeze the bowl for about 24 hours before churning.
Pour the cinnamon ice cream mix into the ice cream maker bowl and churn it for about 25 minutes or as per the manufacturer's instructions. The ice cream will be of soft-serve consistency. You can enjoy it right away! To make it firmer or eat it later, transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze it for about 5-6 hours.
Churn the ice cream in the ice cream maker.
Freeze for 5-6 hours before serving.
Serving suggestions
You can eat cinnamon ice cream all year round and you will enjoy it more in the cooler months of fall and winter due to its warm cinnamon flavor. You can serve cinnamon ice cream with banana bread, pumpkin bread, chocolate brownie, pumpkin cookies, peanut butter cookies, or chocolate chip cookies.
Just grab a scoop and serve it to your delight in a waffle cone, sugar cone, or bowl. Sprinkle some ground cinnamon, rainbow sprinkles, or grated chocolate for extra flavor.
You can also add some chocolate syrup or caramel sauce. You can also serve it in the banana split sundae or enjoy it with a sizzling brownie.
Variations
Cinnamon ice cream is very delicious and you can adapt it to your taste.
- Cinnamon - you can add more cinnamon powder if you like for a stronger cinnamon flavor.
- Vanilla - if you like a dash of vanilla in the ice cream you can add about ½ to 1 teaspoon, while adding the heavy cream, depending on your taste.
- Vegan - you can use the oat milk ice cream base or coconut milk ice cream base and add cinnamon powder to make a vegan cinnamon ice cream.
Equipment
I have used the Cuisinart ICE 100 compressor ice cream maker. However, any other ice cream maker can work fine. If you have a larger capacity ice cream maker using a freezer bowl or the salt and ice type, you can scale the recipe to adapt to your ice cream maker.
I love the compressor ice cream maker because there is no need to freeze the bowl and I can make batch after batch of ice creams in one day.

Storage
Homemade cinnamon ice cream can last in the fridge for about a month. After about two weeks you may see tiny crystals of ice cream. This ice cream is so delicious that it will be gone before you know 🙂
Top tip
- If you are using a compressor machine, precooling the ice cream bowl for 5-10 minutes helps reduce the overall churning time.
- If you make batch after batch of ice creams in a compressor ice cream maker, after rinsing the bowl with water, pat dry it well. This prevents ice from forming on the outside of the bowl while churning which can make it difficult to remove from the machine.
