Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Optional mix-ins: diced mango, chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or shredded coconut
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Base
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon.
- Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 2: Add Mix-Ins
- If you’re using any optional mix-ins like diced mango or chocolate chips, fold them into the mixture gently.
Step 3: Chill the Mixture
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for about 1 hour. This helps the flavors meld together.
Step 4: Freeze the Ice Cream
- Pour the chilled mixture into a freezer-safe container. Spread it out evenly and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 5: Initial Freezing
- Place the container in the freezer for about 4-6 hours, or until the ice cream is firm.
Step 6: Serve
- Once fully frozen, scoop out the Mexican ice cream into bowls or cones. Enjoy it as is or top it with your favorite garnishes like whipped cream, fruit, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
📌 Pro Tip: For a creamier texture, stir the ice cream every hour for the first three hours of freezing.
