Total Time6 hours 20 minutes
Servings: 1 people

Ingredients

  • 1 cup ultra-pasteurized heavy whipping cream
  • 7 oz sweetened condensed milk (200 g)
  • 200 ml sweetened condensed milk (alternate volume)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Chill a large mixing bowl and beaters if possible, then whip 1 cup ultra-pasteurized heavy whipping cream in the large bowl until stiff peaks form.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together 7 oz (200 g / 200 ml) sweetened condensed milk, 1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture in two additions, using a spatula to keep the mixture light and even in color.
  • Transfer the mixture to a covered 1-quart freezer-safe container, smooth the top, seal with the lid, and freeze until firm, about 6 hours.
  • When set, scoop and serve the ice cream as desired.
