Instructions

1. Add all of the ingredients to a medium sized saucepan and heat over medium heat. Stir and heat the ingredients just until they are well-combined and creamy. The sugar will dissolve. Taste test this mixture for sweetness and add more pure sugar or extract and cinnamon to your personal taste if desired.
2. Remove the ice cream base from the heat and allow to cool. Once it’s cooled to room temperature, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate until completely chilled, about 2 hours.
3. Pour the chilled ice cream custard into your ice cream machine and churn according to manufacturer instructions. Allow the ice cream to churn until it reaches a soft serve consistency.
4. Once your ice cream reaches the consistency of soft serve, you can serve it right away as is or freeze it for a traditional firmer consistency.
5. To do so, transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container, smooth it down, and cover the surface with parchment paper before putting a lid on it. Freeze until completely frozen, at least 2 hours.
6. When you’re ready to serve the ice cream, bring it out of the freezer and thaw at room temperature for a few minutes.
