Method

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
