A smooth creamy ice cream flavored 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 or keto blackberry cobbler. 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.
