After we made (and photographed) yesterday’s recipe for Mexican Bread Pudding – I got to thinking…Our No-Churn Cinnamon Ice Cream would be a perfect complement to serve alongside that fantastic bread pudding!
No-Churn ice creams – like today’s cinnamon version – are super easy to make and they come out creamy and delicious and you don’t need an ice cream maker!
Just three ingredients – heavy whipping cream, a can of sweetened condensed milk and Saigon Cinnamon
Our No-Churn Cinnamon Ice Cream is cool and creamy with a hit of cinnamon spice that is perfect with recipes like our Mexican Bread Pudding, Mexican Brownies or even our Hot Fudge Pudding Cake!

This is very creamy ice cream! At 6 hours it was soft serve and after overnight it becomes just like regular ice cream! I did use 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of Saigon cinnamon from Sam’s Club and it was delicious with honeycrisp apple pie.
Thanks for the recipe.

You’re very welcome Katherine – love the idea of serving this with apple pie!
Hi…I love cinnamon and would love to make this…..Can you use regular cinnamon in place of the Saigon cinnamon…..This sounds so AMAZING
Hi Renee – yes you can use regular cinnamon. Enjoy!
Thanks for the great recipe! I’ve made this several times because its so simple and delicious.
Hot tip: A scoop or two of this goes wonderfully with pancakes or crepes.

Thanks Nick!
Will this work in a counter top ice cream maker?
Hi Jen – No – you wouldn’t get the same creamy volume churning it in an ice cream maker. Instead, I’d suggest making a recipe like this traditional vanilla ice cream recipe: https://www.afamilyfeast.com/the-best-vanilla-ice-cream/ – it’s made for an ice cream churn and you could add in the cinnamon to the custard mixture (or steep a cinnamon stick in the custard while it is still warm) to make something very similar. Hope that helps!
Great ideas! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Kim!
This ice cream looks delicious! When I got married I had an ice cream bar and we actually served cinnamon ice cream 🙂 Love that it’s no-churn too!
An ice cream bar – what a great idea for a wedding! (I would have loved having that at mine – I’m crazy about ice cream!)
Love the idea of cinnamon ice cream! Unfortunately, I can’t have dairy. I wonder if this would work with coconut cream/milk? I’m going to try it and see how it turns out.
I’d love to hear how it comes out with those substitutions Emily! I think the sweetened condensed milk is also the key to achieving the thick and creamy texture without churning so you’ll have to find a replacement for that too!
I tried it both ways, with coconut milk (full fat) and coconut cream. Both ended up tasting great, but wasn’t quite the right consistency. The cream seemed to work a bit better, consistency-wise. I did, however, end up putting it into my ice cream machine (cuisinart).
The first time it churned the result was a little icy so I added about half a shot of golden rum – it was delicious and brought out the flavor of the cinnamon. I wish I could’ve managed to make it a no-churn, but that seems rather difficult when making it dairy-free. I’ll definitely make this again 🙂
Thanks for letting us know Emily!
I adore roasted Saigon cinnamon. It’s my absolute favourite. Love that you made this no churn. There needs to be more no churn ice cream recipes in the world.
Huge ice cream fan. Can’t wait to try this
What a lovely, creamy no-churn ice cream! I can think of lots of ways to use this – a scoop on top of apple pie sounds fabulous.
Ooo Lana! Apple pie is a great idea!
I love cinnamon ice cream and can’t believe how simple your version is…plus, it’s looks pretty darn dreamy at the same time. I can make a batch RIGHT NOW!
Looks so creamy and only few ingredients! Love it!
Thanks Medeja! (It’s super easy to make…)
This looks awesome!! I’ve never seen cinnamon ice cream before. I can’t wait to try this. I love cinnamon in anything. Lol.
Hope you enjoy the recipe Shannon!
Have you any other flavors for the no churn ice cream? Thanks
Hi Norma – We have a Peppermint Chip recipe on the blog as well. The base recipe of cream and sweetened condensed milk can be the start of just about any flavor you’d like!
This ice cream looks amazing! I love that it’s no churn too. I crush up those ginger cookies pictures above and put them on top of this ice cream! 🙂
This is GORGEOUS! I’m all about the no-churn!
