Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups half-and-half
  • 2 egg yolks
  • ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Ice Cream Base

  1. In a small pot, combine half-and-half, sweetened condensed milk, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla bean paste, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Heat over medium heat until warm (don’t let it boil). Stir occasionally.

Step 2: Temper the Egg Yolks

  1. In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth.
  2. Slowly add ¼ cup of the warm milk mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly.
  3. Gradually pour the tempered egg yolks back into the pot, stirring continuously.
  4. Cook over low heat for 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened (the mixture should coat the back of a spoon).

Step 3: Cool and Freeze

  1. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
  2. Pour it into a Ninja Creami pint container, seal, and freeze for 24 hours.

Step 4: Spin

  1. Place the frozen pint in the Ninja Creami and select the “Ice Cream” cycle.
  2. If needed, use the “Re-spin” function or add 1 tablespoon of milk for a smoother texture.
