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.

CINNAMON WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Pour heavy cream into chilled glass bowl (I use a small but deep glass bowl).

• Slowly add sugar, cinnamon and vanilla.
• Continue beating until stiff peaks form.
• Tip: When making whipped cream I dampen a paper towel with vinegar and wipe the inside of a glass bowl with it.
• Continue to wipe until dry and place inside freezer with beaters or whisk.
• Leave in freezer for 10 minutes to chill then use to make whipped cream.

CINNAMON-VANILLA COFFEE CREAMER

Steps:

• Place all ingredients except vanilla in food processor.
• Blend for about 30 seconds while slowly dripping in vanilla extract.
• May add/subtract flavoring to suit your tastes, I've added almond extract to this as well and it is wonderful.
• *Note* if mixing in bowl, SLOWLY add the extract as it clumps the mixture easily.

SALTY VANILLA AND CINNAMON ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the split vanilla bean, cinnamon and nutmeg. Bring the milk to just a simmer, cover and turn off the heat. Let the spices steep, about 15 minutes.
• In a large nonreactive bowl, add the egg yolks and both sugars. Whisk until the sugar is mostly dissolved into the egg yolks, about 2 minutes.
• Temper the eggs into the milk by adding 1 cup or so cooled milk to the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Continue slowly adding the milk to the egg mixture until both are combined.
• Transfer the milk mixture back to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture is thick enough to coat back of the spoon, 2 minutes or so. Remove the pan from the heat and add the heavy cream, vanilla extract and salt. Strain through a fine sieve into a cooled bowl. Stir the mixture occasionally until cooled completely. Stir the vanilla extract into the cooled custard. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturers' instructions. Serve the ice cream in waffle cones and garnish with chopped Marcona almonds and coarse sea salt.
