Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups half-and-half
  • 2 egg yolks
  • ½ cup condensed milk
  • ½ tsp nutmeg (freshly grated recommended)
  • ½ tsp cinnamon powder
  • 2 tsp bourbon vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base:
    In a small pot, combine half-and-half, condensed milk, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla bean paste, and salt. Heat gently over medium heat until warm but not boiling.
  2. Temper the Egg Yolks:
    In a bowl, whisk egg yolks. Slowly add about ½ cup of the warm mixture while whisking constantly. Gradually pour the tempered yolks back into the pot, stirring continuously.
  3. Cook and Cool:
    Heat the mixture until it slightly thickens and coats the back of a spoon (170–175°F). Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
  4. Freeze:
    Pour the cooled mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container. Seal tightly and freeze for at least 24 hours on a flat surface.
  5. Spin and Serve:
    Process the frozen mixture in the Ninja Creami using the “Ice Cream” mode. If crumbly, re-spin or add a tablespoon of milk for a smoother texture. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings!

Notes

  • Serving Suggestions: Top with whipped cream, crushed gingerbread cookies, or a sprinkle of nutmeg for extra flair.
  • Tips & Tricks: Ensure your base is well-blended before freezing for the smoothest results. If the ice cream is too hard after freezing, use the re-spin function or microwave it for 10 seconds.
  • Storage & Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. Add 1–2 teaspoons of food-grade vegetable glycerin to keep it scoopable without re-spinning.
