Four Hour Cinnamon Ice Cream

A while back I posted a recipe for an ultra quick fix ice cream treat.  It involved frozen strawberries and cream.  Recently I made ice cream again, still not the conventional way.  I do have an ice cream maker, but it takes at least 12 hours in the freezer.  The super fast strawberry ice cream is the speediest, but it does need to be eaten right away.  I never tried freezing it, but my guess is that with all the water content, it would end up with icy bits, like freezer burn.

Here is a way to make ice cream in a fraction of the time without using a maker.  I think this way allows for many flavour options, and it can be frozen.

BTW, I had a carton of cream which was expiring soon, and my last can of condensed milk, and that is how this treat came to life.  I say last can, because last year when it was on sale, I bought some, and my bf bought some, because he knows how much I love CM, and together we had about 18 cans.  I ate some of them, used most for key lime pies and various experiments.

All you need is love, na na na na na....  One of my fave songs, but seriously.

- 1 can of condensed milk
- 1 carton of whipping cream (500ml)
- cinnamon, or a flavour of your choice, nuts, cookie bits, coffee, etc

Pour milk and cream together, beat until it thickens.  You won't get fluffy peaks with this, but it will be thick, in a pourable way.  Add cinnamon, or whatever, and either beat it in or fold it in, depending on what you're adding.

Pour in a freezer safe container, wait at least three hours, check, it may need four.  

I smoothed mine out after pouring it in to the container, before it went in the freezer, but it would not have made a difference.

Et voila!  Creamy, scoopable ice cream ready in a few hours  :)
