Plus freezing time

Put the milk in a pan with the cinnamon stick and bring to the boil. In a bowl, whisk together the yolks, sugar and ground cinnamon. Discard the cinnamon stick, then strain the hot milk over the yolks, whisking continuously.
Pour the custard mix back into a pan and cook on a low-ish heat for 8-10 mins, stirring constantly until thickened. Whisk the custard into the cream, then cool, chill and freeze in an ice-cream maker.

No ice-cream machine?

Pour the cooked custard into a bowl, then put the bowl in the freezer for about one and a half hrs until it starts to freeze around the edges. Stir well, repeat process twice more until the mix is smooth. Freeze until needed in a suitable container.

A dessert that punches well above it's weight. We served it with Gordon's Pear Tarte Tatin with amazing results.

Made this using the non-ice-cream maker method, whilst it tastes nice it has set like a brick. I will have to thaw it slightly before eating.

I love cinnamon yet this really did not work for me. It tasted like a frozen cake, maybe cinnamon ice cream is not such a great idea after all

I made this last night.I thought it was delicious, however, the wife :( decided to smother hers in ice magic to hide the cinnamon taste - the ungrateful cow! Its Mr Whippy for her next time!

Sooooo good! I love it! I also use this recipe (without the cinnamon as a good basic ice cream recipe).

I made this last year for Christmas dessert, it was served alongside a pear and almond tart (I poached the pears in mulled wine to add to the christmas vibe) and it was gorgeous. Will be making it again this year
