Cinnamon icecream - ideas to use up

31 replies

WantChewbaccaForGood · 16/03/2021 19:12

In a fit of adventure, I bought some cinnamon icecream. Nobody likes it. I don't like it.
Is there something I can do to make it more pleasant? I'd rather not chuck it.

Is putting some in coffee a thing? (Cinnamon latte type thing)?

Where did you buy this ice cream? I love all things cinnamon- I can't help you to use it up but I want some!

Dh came home with licorice and blackcurrant icecream a few weeks ago. It was vile. We threw it after 2 mouthfuls even though it cost £4.

Serve it on apple crumble?

You can definitely put ice cream in coffee! Just a scoop instead of milk or cream.

Chocolate and cinnamon milkshakes?

PainterInPeril · 16/03/2021 19:21

With apple crumble? Or in fizzy apple drink? Whizz it up with fruit into a thick milkshake? With homemade chocolate sauce?

Fivemoreminutes1 · 16/03/2021 19:24

I buy it to serve with steaming hot apple crumble and it tastes so much better when melting into the apple. Otherwise, try this milkshake: 2 medium frozen bananas, 2 scoops cinnamon ice cream, 1 tsp honey, 3/4 glass milk, a generous spoon of hot chocolate powder (optional).

Maybe serve it with apple crumble, leche frita or even a plain sponge, anything you might add cinnamon to normally, to make the flavour less intense?

Whatwouldnanado · 16/03/2021 19:29

On top of hot chocolate?

Mehmehmeh19 · 16/03/2021 19:37

An affogato type affair ice cream with espresso over the top? Maybe some booze thrown in baileys?

WantChewbaccaForGood · 16/03/2021 20:07

Woah, so many replies!
@frankiesknuckle, I bought it from Heron frozen foods (I don't think they exist everywhere).

I quite like the idea of a small scoop on apple crumble (I'll have to buy one, just cannot be bothered to make one) and @mehmehmeh19 booze suggestion makes me wonder whether a Tia Maria might "go" with it.

I might investigate once the kids are asleep.

Thank you everyone, you all sound like culinary geniuses :)

AuntieMarys was it from a supermarket? A local ice cream farm does a blackcurrant and liquorice ice cream and it is AMAZING!

bellagogosdead · 16/03/2021 20:14

Hang on a minute where can I purchase cinnamon ice cream?

RainbowMum11 · 16/03/2021 20:26

I would serve it with apple pie or apple crumble

WantChewbaccaForGood · 16/03/2021 21:33

It's Halo Top, cinnamon roll flavour.

Just tried some with Tia Maria. Hmmm. Medicinal tasting.

I'll buy an apple crumble tomorrow (yeah I know but I just cba to make one).

Now I’m addicted to cinnamon in most forms but that Halo Top ice cream is not nice! It’s not a nice cinnamon flavour, it’s hot, like a ginger-y hotness.. I wouldn’t go rushing peeps x

bellagogosdead · 16/03/2021 22:15

Darn it. Can anyone else remember Ben and Jerry Apple pie ice cream? That's what I am really needing.Sad

Sliceofrice · 16/03/2021 22:33

I think the issue is that it's Halo ice cream rather than cinnamon flavoured! Add flour to the ice cream and microwave it for a mug cake.

roomtomove · 16/03/2021 22:44

Halo Top is utterly vile. That's your problem not the cinnamon flavour. You are best to cut your losses and ditch it.

EveryDayIsADuvetDay · 16/03/2021 23:23

Cinnamon would be good with Rhubarb.
I used to have a local restaurant that occasionally had their own cinnamon ice cream on the menu - when it was I'd ask to swap it in to whichever desert I was having - it was fab.

AintOverUntilTheCatLadySings · 16/03/2021 23:45

Google 'ice cream bread' - you can add flour to it and bake it in to a loaf of sweet bread

AuntieMarys · 17/03/2021 07:33

dontday local farm shop. They do a lovely Jaffa cake one but this was horrible. Strange colour

WantChewbaccaForGood · 17/03/2021 09:51

I may well try icecream bread! The very notion!

Having some in coffee at the moment- its not bad.

Another vote for adding to apple crumble/pie...maybe with a drizzle of caramel sauce?

aintnocoffeebigenough · 17/03/2021 09:55

Was just coming on to say ice cream bread/cake. Saw someone made one on my FB the other day Smile
