Time 15m

Yield 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the brown sugar, water and cinnamon. Cook until all the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is syrupy, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter. When melted, vigorously stir in the corn syrup.
  • Add the softened ice cream to a large bowl. Pour the cinnamon caramel over the ice cream and quickly fold it in; the hot caramel will string as it hits the cold ice cream. Refreeze or serve immediately.

Categories     Dessert

Time 2m

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 cup vanilla ice cream
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, to taste

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Place the ice cream in a bowl. Let stand for 3 minutes to slightly soften it.
  • Sprinkle 1/8 teaspoon of the cinnamon over the ice cream, then stir until it is well distributed.
  • Taste for seasoning, and add more cinnamon if desired. Serve immediately or cover and place in the freezer for a bit if you prefer firmer ice cream. Use it soon because refrozen ice cream often gets an unpleasant grainy texture and isn't as smooth and creamy.

CINNAMON SWIRL VANILLA ICE CREAM BARS



Cinnamon Swirl Vanilla Ice Cream Bars image

To help prevent the ice cream bars from melting while you are cutting and dipping them, choose a vanilla ice cream that freezes solid. How can you tell? Squeeze the pint in the freezer case to test which brand feels hardest.

Yield Makes about 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups natural almond or other nut butter, divided
1 cup (packed) light brown sugar, divided
2 pints vanilla ice cream
1 cup virgin coconut oil, melted
2/3 cup chopped pretzel sticks
Flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Line an 8x8" baking pan, preferably metal, with plastic wrap, leaving generous overhang on all sides and let chill in freezer 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, blend cream, cinnamon, a pinch of kosher salt, 1/2 cup almond butter, and 1/2 cup brown sugar in a blender, adding 1-2 Tbsp. water if mixture is too thick or looks broken, until smooth and thick but pourable.
  • Peel away sides of containers from ice cream. Cut ice cream into 2" pieces and place in a medium bowl. Let sit until slightly softened, about 5 minutes, then stir with a wooden spoon or large rubber spatula until the consistency of thick cake batter. Scrape almond-butter mixture into bowl with ice cream and fold several times with a rubber spatula to create a marbled effect (do not overmix; you want defined ribbons running through). Scrape into prepared baking pan and spread out into an even layer. Smooth top, then bring plastic up and over ice cream. Freeze until hard, about 12 hours.
  • Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper and place in freezer. (Freeze at least 15 minutes before using to ensure they are properly chilled.) Remove baking pan with ice cream from freezer. Use edges of plastic to unmold ice cream and place on a cutting board; peel off plastic. Use a dry hot knife (run under hot water and wipe dry between slices) to cut ice cream into a 6x4 grid to make 24 bars (if ice cream starts to soften, freeze again until firm before proceeding). Place bars on chilled baking sheet, spacing evenly; freeze until firm, 40-45 minutes.
  • Whisk coconut oil, a pinch of kosher salt, remaining 1 cup almond butter, and remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar in a small bowl until smooth. Working one at a time and using a fork, dip ice cream bars into coconut-oil mixture, allowing excess to drip back into bowl, then place on remaining chilled baking sheet and immediately sprinkle with pretzels and sea salt. Return ice cream to freezer from time to time while you work if it becomes too soft.
  • Freeze bars until ice cream and nut-butter shells are hard, at least 1 hour, before serving.
  • Do Ahead
  • Bars can be made 1 week ahead. Once frozen solid, wrap in plastic; keep frozen.

Provided by Tikeyah Whittle

Categories     Desserts

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

5 tablespoons heavy cream
½ cup light brown sugar
2 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
¾ teaspoon cayenne
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cups vanilla ice cream, softened
1 ¼ sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
⅔ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup light brown sugar
1 large egg
2 tablespoons molasses
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups all purpose flour
¼ cup dark cocoa powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¾ teaspoon cayenne, plus more to taste
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¾ cup semisweet chocolate chip
⅓ cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 ¼ teaspoons cayenne

Steps:

  • Make the cinnamon-cayenne swirl ice cream: In a medium pot, whisk together the heavy cream and brown sugar over medium heat. Cook, whisking occasionally to prevent burning, until the sugar is melted. Whisk in the cinnamon and cayenne. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, whisking continuously, until thickened and syrupy. Whisk in the salt. Remove the pot from the heat and whisk in the butter until melted. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the softened ice cream to a wide, shallow dish. Use a spatula to break up the ice cream. Drizzle the cinnamon-cayenne syrup over the ice cream and fold in with the spatula, creating swirls throughout. Transfer to a loaf pan and freeze for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
  • Make the cookies: In a large bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed for 1-2 minutes, until well incorporated. Add the egg, molasses, and vanilla. Beat on high speed for 2-3 minutes, until light brown and fluffy.
  • Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cayenne, and nutmeg. Mix on low speed until the flour is just incorporated. Increase the speed to medium-high and continue mixing for about 1 minute, until the flour is fully incorporated and there are no dry spots, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the chocolate chips and fold with a rubber spatula until evenly distributed.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes to chill.
  • While the cookies chill, make the cinnamon-cayenne sugar: In a medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and cayenne with a fork.
  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Using a 2-ounce scoop, portion out 12 cookies. Roll each portion of dough into a ball, then flatten between your palms and smooth the edges to make wide, flat discs. Arrange the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, 6 per pan.
  • Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, until cooked through to the center but not crisp or beginning to harden.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool on the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled completely, transfer the cookies to the freezer for 10 minutes to harden.
  • While the cookies are in the freezer, remove the ice cream from the freezer to thaw slightly.
  • Remove the cookies from the freezer and transfer to a work space. Using a 4-ounce scoop, scoop the ice cream onto the underside of a cookie. Top with a second cookie and press down lightly to adhere. Transfer to a clean baking sheet and repeat with the remaining cookies and ice cream.
  • Freeze the ice cream sandwiches for at least 30 minutes to set.
  • Remove the ice cream sandwiches from the freezer and sprinkle the exposed ice cream with the cinnamon-cayenne sugar.
  • Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use a high-quality vanilla ice cream.
  • If you don't have a cinnamon roll dough, you can use a refrigerated crescent roll dough instead.
  • To make sure the cinnamon swirl is evenly distributed, roll the dough out into a long rectangle before adding the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • Be sure to chill the dough before slicing and baking the bars. This will help them hold their shape.
  • If you want a gooey cinnamon swirl, use a generous amount of cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • For a crispy cinnamon swirl, use less cinnamon sugar mixture and bake the bars for a few minutes longer.
  • Serve the bars immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon swirl vanilla ice cream bars are a delicious and easy dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients, you can make these bars in no time. They are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
