Low Carb Cinnamon Ice Cream

A smooth creamy ice cream flavoured with cinnamon is a must for cinnamon lovers.   The warm spice makes this low carb ice cream a great dessert.  It’s almost an ice cream version of apple pie, without the apple.

Although I used my ice cream maker for this, it can be made without one too.  To be honest, I was not too happy with the ice cream churning as the texture so like a soft serve ice cream and I wanted it a bit harder.  So, I popped the cinnamon ice cream into the freezer and finished it there.

There is a great ice cream shop in St Lucia that I pop into to look at their range of flavours.  They have a couple of sugar free flavours too which I enjoy and makes sure I don’t stray down the sugar path.  They change their flavours regularly and have some great flavours during holidays. The rum punch one will be forever in my memory.  When I saw the cinnamon ice cream, I had to have a taste.   My taste-buds did a happy dance and off I went home to make a low carb version.

HOW TO MAKE LOW CARB CINNAMON ICE CREAM

For this cinnamon ice cream, I simply used ground cinnamon.   You could perhaps add a cinnamon stick to the cream as you are heating it, but I thought that it would be a lot easier just to use ground cinnamon.    

This cinnamon ice cream would be amazing with a side of apple crumble.  A slice of low carb ginger cake topped with this cinnamon ice cream would be a hug in a bowl!   Or just scoop yourself a bowl of ice cream and enjoy it by itself.
