In fact, I think Cinnamon Crunch might be the new Mint Chip-you heard it here first. This ice cream, with its combination of creamy and crunchy textures, and double dose of cinnamon flavor, is a must-try for all serious cinnamon lovers! These little crunchies are broken into small pieces, so there’s a little bit in every single bite. Melted chips coat the cereal and keep it from getting soggy in the ice cream, while also giving the cereal pieces a strong cinnamon flavor. They’re made with just two ingredients: cinnamon chips and crispy rice cereal. The cinnamon crunchies are what really makes this ice cream special. Look at all these speckles of cinnamon love: This version, in addition to having a different ice cream base, adds a wonderful crunchy element, to give the ice cream a textural “pop” that matches the bold flavor. I actually already have one recipe for cinnamon ice cream on this site-that one uses whole eggs, instead of egg yolks, so it’s a good choice if you don’t want to have extra whites left over. I’m sure many companies make cinnamon ice cream, but it’s still not one I see often on my grocery store shelves, so it’s become one of my go-to flavors to make at home. At the risk of picking a huge fight with Jason “Vanilla is the Finest of the Flavors” LaBau, I think of cinnamon as a much more interesting version of vanilla ice cream. It was a revelation-a common flavor and a common dessert, paired together in a way I hadn’t tasted before. I first tasted cinnamon ice cream as a child at Marianne’s in Santa Cruz, where we would stop on our way home from the beach. Mint Chip is the heavyweight, appearing absolutely everywhere, while underdog Cinnamon is criminally ignored as an ice cream flavor. Which, admittedly, doesn’t seem like a fair fight. If I had to pick my favorite ice cream flavor, it would be a hard choice between Mint Chip and Cinnamon. Please see my disclosure policy for more information.
