MEAN MR. CINNAMON CUSTARD (CINNAMON ICE CREAM)

Steps:

• Combine cream and milk in a large sauce pan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla beans; add beans (or add 1 tsp of the vanilla extract). Bring just to simmer.
• Whisk sugar and yolks in large bowl to blend.
• Gradually whisk hot cream mixture into the sugar and yolk mixture in the large bowl (Make sure to coddle the eggs by whisking a small amount of the hot mixture to the eggs BEFORE adding the rest). Return mixture to same saucepan.
• Continuously stir over medium-low heat until custard thickens and leaves path on back of spoon when finger is drawn across, about 6 minute (do not boil).
• Strain into large bowl.
• Whisk in ground cinnamon and add the last 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract.
• Chill until cold, about 2 hours. I've found it's easier to chill if it's in a metal bowl.
• Transfer custard to ice cream maker and process according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Transfer ice cream to a covered container and freeze until firm.

CINNAMON CUSTARD PIE

Steps:

• Mix together the egg yolks, caster sugar, custard powder and milk in a bowl. Pour the cream into a saucepan set over a medium heat, bring to the boil, then gradually pour into the egg yolk mixture, whisking until smooth.
• Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over a low-medium heat for a few minutes, whisking all the time to keep it smooth. It should be very thick. Remove from the heat, then stir in the vanilla paste. Set aside to cool.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 4. Line a 28 x 18cm baking tray with baking parchment. Unroll the pastry sheet with the long edge closest to you. Cut it in half vertically, to make two rectangles that will fit the base of the tray. Put one sheet in the baking tray, prick all over with a fork, and bake for 15 mins. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 mins.
• Whisk the custard again briefly, then spread evenly over the cooled pastry. Lay the other pastry sheet on top, tucking in the edges. Brush with half the butter.
• Mix the granulated sugar with the cinnamon, then sprinkle evenly over the pie. Drizzle over the remaining melted butter and bake for a further 35-45 mins until the custard has set and browned on top.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tray, before cutting into bars to serve. Can be kept chilled for up to three days.

• 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.

CINNAMON ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium-low heat, stir together the sugar and half-and-half. When the mixture begins to simmer, remove from heat, and whisk half of the mixture into the eggs. Whisk quickly so that the eggs do not scramble. Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan, and stir in the heavy cream. Continue cooking over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. Remove from heat, and whisk in vanilla and cinnamon. Set aside to cool.
• Pour cooled mixture into an ice cream maker, and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.

ATKINS CINNAMON CUSTARD

Steps:

• In a medium-size heavy saucepan, combine heavy cream and cinnamon. Heat over medium heat, whisking constantly to thoroughly blend cinnamon into cream, just until cream begins to steam (do not boil). Remove from heat.
• Heat oven to 300°F.
• In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, egg yolks, sugar substitute and salt together until pale yellow and slightly thickened. Using a soup ladle and whisking constantly, very gradually pour in the hot cream. When all the cream has been added, whisk in the vanilla extract.
• Pour about 1/2 cup cream mixture into each of six 4-ounce custard cups (or pour entire mixture into a 2-quart round baking dish). Place the cups or baking dish in a roasting pan. Carefully pour enough boiling water in the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the cups or baking dish.
• Bake until custard is still slightly loose in center, about 30 minutes (for the baking dish, bake about 5 minutes more). Using an oven mitt, carefully remove cups from water bath.
• To unmold, chill custard for at least 4 hours or overnight. Run a knife around edge of custard cups to loosen, invert onto a serving plate, and top with caramel syrup (optional).
• Serve warm, at room temperature, or cold; top each serving with 1 tablespoon caramel syrup.

DARK CHOCOLATE AND CINNAMON FROZEN CUSTARD

Transfer to a container, cover, and refrigerate until chilled, at least 6 hours.
• Stir cinnamon into chilled custard batter and freeze in an ice cream machine following manufacturer's instructions. Sprinkle frozen custard with more cinnamon to serve.
