Ingredients

  • 5 large easy sweet treats
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 large cinnamon sticks (6-7 inch
  • 2 tsp vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
  • 1 can prepared cinnamon rolls (iced, cooled, and cut into 8 pieces)

Instructions

  • Whisk your egg yolks and sugar in a bowl. Do this until the mix looks pale.
  • Heat the cream, milk, and cinnamon sticks in a pot. Be careful. Keep it hot, but do not let it boil.
  • Slowly whisk the warm milk into your yolks. Pour it all back into the pot.
  • Cook and stir until it gets thick. Strain the liquid to remove the sticks and let it cool down.
  • Crumble half of your prepared cinnamon rolls into the cooled base.
  • Pour into a container. If you have a machine, use it. If not, freeze for 4 to 6 hours.
  • Fold in the rest of the cinnamon rolls. Keep it in the freezer until firm.

Notes

  • Prep Ahead: Chill the base completely before adding rolls.
  • Layering: Add rolls in two batches for the best texture.
  • Storage: Use an airtight container to keep ice crystals away.
  • Duration: Best when enjoyed within two weeks.
