Cinnamon Ice Cream

Recipe by Neil Perry from Food Source - Neil Perry

Pin It

Cinnamon or cassia is an age-old spice, used in love potions and as a perfume in Roman times. It is the inner bark of a tropical evergreen tree indigenous to Sri Lanka. The bark is harvested during the rainy season, and when dried curls into long quills. These can be used as they are or ground into powder. The flavour of cinnamon is pungent and slightly bittersweet.

Ingredients

1 l milk
40 g cassia bark
50 g glucose
8 egg yolks
50 g sugar
4 whole eggs
350 g caster sugar
