Recipe: Cinnamon Bun Ice Cream

soooo good!  Was inspired in the middle of the night out at State College with Katie - i have NO idea why!  But couldn't wait to get home and experiment and it turned out really yummy!

I think part of the key is using lowfat cream cheese in the ice cream - and adding the cinnamon and a touch of cloves.  My mom suggested it would be amazingly good over homemade pumpkin pie... I could see it topped with baked oatmeal granola and apples, actually.  Either way, it's good stuff.

For this one, I used 2% condensed milk to try and keep the consistency good after freezing because I wasn't using any alcohol in it.  It froze to an "ok" consistency - a bit harder than I'd like, but microwaved for 20 seconds was perfect and not at all icy.  I think next time I may go back to the nonfat condensed milk and try a non-flavored liquor like vodka for the consistency issue...  the xanthan gum REALLY helps with that, though!

Anyway - here 'tis.... enjoy!

Karen...I only have ONE ice cream maker...AND I MUST eat something other than ice cream!  Please, take a break!  I still want to make the peach one!  LMAO!!!

Sooooo totally awesome!!!!  Thank you!!!!

Geez, not MY fault you're such a slowpoke.  Sigh.

Are you going to be at Liz's?  I'm going to try and find the time on Friday to make a batch of the cinnamon one (and MAYBE a batch of peach if I can really get my act together - shh!) to bring to class.  :-)

K.

Yep, I'm coming!!!!!!!!

If not I still have most of a batch of the peach that I made last week we can sample from that. We could also make the cinnamon bun one here too, I'll go throw the cylinder back in the freezer right now

Karen, I have to try this! I'm just curious, though -- where do you buy the xantham gum?

Thanks,
Lesley

Lesley,

I got it at Wegmans.  It's over the organic section, Bob's Red Mill is the brand.  Since getting it there, though, I've seen it a bunch of other places that have a decent baking section.  If you're going to be at Liz's on Saturday I can bring you some - just let me know.

K.

I'll still be on vacation so I won't make it to cooking class. I really need to make it back there one of these months!  Thanks for the tip -- I go to Wegman's usually once a week, so I'll look for it next time I'm there.

I would pay you to make this for me Miss Lesley! Cause the details on how to make it make my head hurt

I will make it for our next gathering, my dear...
