Step-by-step
- Warm the milk, sugar, salt, cinnamon and 1 cup of the heavy cream in a medium saucepan.
- Pour the remaining 1 cup heavy cream into a large bowl and set a mesh strainer on top and set aside.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks.
- Slowly pour the warm cinnamon milk mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly, then scrape the warmed custard back into the saucepan.
- Stir the mixture constantly over medium heat with a heatproof spatula or wooden spoon, scraping the bottom as you stir, until the mixture thickens and coats the spatula. This takes 5-7 minutes.
- Pour the cinnamon custard through the strainer on top of the bowl, and into the cream.
- Place the bowl in an ice bath or just place in the fridge to completely chill. It can be in the fridge up to 3 days before churning.
- Freeze the ice cream in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Transfer to a storage container, alternating layers of ice cream with layers of cream cheese icing.
- Transfer to the freezer and freeze until firm.
- Combine the cream cheese and butter in the bowl of an electric mixer.
- Beat on medium-high speed for about 2 minutes, until light and fluffy.
- Add in the powdered sugar and beat on low speed just until all mixed together.
- Beat in the vanilla and heavy cream.
- Increase the speed to medium-high and beat 2-3 minutes more.
- Set Aside until the ice cream is ready to churn.
