Brown sugar and cinnamon is a classic combination – and not just for oatmeal! This creamy brown sugar cinnamon ice cream recipe will make you hug your ice cream maker. Really.

The sweet and creamy brown sugar cinnamon ice cream is made with heavy cream, whole milk, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, egg yolks and cinnamon chips, which are optional. The cream, milk, sugar and cinnamon simmer in a saucepot and then the vanilla is stirred in. The egg yolks and brown sugar is stirred in and cooked until thickened (don't forget to temper the eggs!). The mixture is cooled, the cinnamon chips stirred in and then churned in your ice cream maker.

If you don't have cinnamon chips, try white, milk, semisweet or dark chocolate chips. You can't go wrong. Serve this creamy ice cream for dessert or a sweet snack.
