Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup crushed snickerdoodle cookies

Equipment

  • medium saucepan
  • blender or whisk
  • refrigerator-safe bowl
  • ice cream maker
  • freezer-safe container
  • spatula

Method

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely, about 5 minutes. Do not boil.
  2. Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to chill thoroughly.
  3. Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20–25 minutes, until thick and creamy.
  4. Gently fold in the crushed snickerdoodle cookies with a spatula until evenly distributed.
  5. Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container, press a piece of parchment paper directly onto the surface, and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm. Let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping.

Notes

Add a pinch of nutmeg or a swirl of maple syrup for depth. For dairy-free, use coconut milk and cashew cream. Store with parchment on top to prevent freezer burn. Great sandwiched between cookies or topped with warm chocolate sauce.
