How to Make Christmas Ice Cream
Step 1 – Whip Heavy Cream – Whip the heavy whipping cream in a large bowl with a hand held or stand – up mixer until stiff peaks are formed.
Step 2 – Stir in Ingredients – In a separate bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract and ground cinnamon.

Recipe Tips
- Make Ahead – This is the perfect holiday dessert to prepare ahead of time. I like to make it the night before serving, so it is ready to go.
- Add more sprinkles – You can top with more of the icing and sprinkles when serving if you prefer.
- Chill the bowl and beaters – Place the mixing bowl and beaters of the hand mixer in the fridge or freezer to chill before using. The ice cream mixture will freeze faster.
- Allow to Freeze – Allow at least 6 hours for ice cream to freeze. We recommend letting it freeze oven night for the best results.
How to Store Leftovers
I usually make this recipe the night before we’re going to enjoy it. This ice cream will last up to 3 months stored in the freezer.
Frequently Asked Questions
We recommend using a 9×5 loaf pan to make this recipe. But really any size pan will work. You want to use a pan that holds the ice cream and that is freeze safe.
If you prefer you can scoop in individual serving and then freeze.
It will depend on your freezer and the container that you use to freeze your ice cream. In a loaf pan, it usually takes up to 6 hours to freeze the ice cream. That is why I like to prepare the night before and can be frozen overnight.
