Cinnamon ice cream has a spicy and pleasant taste and is perfect for ending a lunch or dinner. It’s very easy to prepare and truly delicious, with cinnamon and vanilla easily recognizable. Moreover, it’s a perfect dessert even during the Christmas holidays. It’s super creamy and doesn’t freeze!
For this recipe, I used the tasty McVitie’s Digestive biscuits included in this month’s Degustabox.

CINNAMON ICE CREAM INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups whipping cream (fresh)
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1.5 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 6 biscuits (plain or cinnamon)
Tools
- 1 Electric Whisk
- 1 Loaf Pan
CINNAMON ICE CREAM PREPARATION
Whip the cream at high speed in a cold bowl until bubbles start to form.
At this point, add the sugar and vanilla while continuing to whip until the cream is very stiff.
Set aside in the fridge.
Take 1/4 cup of sweetened condensed milk (from the total) and place it in a small bowl, add the cinnamon, mix to combine, and then set aside.
Now, fold the remaining sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream gently using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Pour half of the cream mixture into the mold. Drizzle a spoonful of the cinnamon-infused condensed milk over it and create a “swirled” effect using a toothpick.
Crumble 2/3 biscuits over the mixture, then pour the remaining cream mixture on top. Again, drizzle cinnamon-infused condensed milk creating a swirled effect and crumble 2/3 more biscuits.
Cover the surface with foil and freeze for at least 4/5 hours before serving.
Adriana’s Tip
You can add cinnamon or chocolate biscuits to the mixture. It depends on your taste!
