Cinnamon Roll Coffee Ice Cream made from natural ingredients like fresh brewed coffee, vanilla, cinnamon, sugar and heavy cream.

Since July is National Ice Cream Month, I thought I'd share a new ice cream recipe with all of you. You all know by now that though I enjoy ice cream once in a while, it's not my "go to" snack. But when I do decide to indulge, I LOVE coffee ice cream.

I always have, even as a kid. Maybe it was because I wasn't allowed to drink coffee at a young age and I thought that by eating coffee ice cream, I was somehow breaking the rules. Who knows!

What I do know is that while in high school, I spent the summer babysitting. We would take walks to the local convenience store to get out of the house and get ice cream once a week.

It was probably more for my sanity than the child's since I was bored as hell, but they didn't mind. After all, they got free ice cream out of the deal. And every time we went, I got a pint of Haagen Dazs coffee ice cream.

Fast forward thirty some odd years later, and I find myself in the same place where I was when I was a kid. That is, I can't drink coffee. Well I can, but I usually limit my consumption to about one cup 1-2 times per week.

I'm more of a tea drinker, but I do love the flavor. For this reason, we have a Keurig coffee machine. Yes, it's a little more expensive per cup than brewing an entire pot, but it's more convenient for my family.

One of our favorite flavors is the Cinnabon Classic Cinnamon Coffee. My daughter just loves it. So I tried some with a little fat free vanilla coffee creamer and I was hooked. Now when I'm craving something sweet in the afternoon, I just brew myself a cup.

That got me thinking about how good that flavor would taste as an ice cream flavor, but I realize that not everyone has a Keurig so I wanted this to be something everyone can make. For this recipe you'll need fresh brewed strong coffee, vanilla, cinnamon, sugar and heavy cream.

How do you make Cinnamon Roll Coffee Ice Cream?

Start by brewing your coffee twice as strong as you normally would. If you do have a Keurig, use the 4oz. setting per k-cup. Once the coffee is brewed transfer to a mixing bowl and add granulated sugar, vanilla extract and ground cinnamon.

Mix well until the sugar dissolves; then allow to cool for about 15 minutes. Next, add the heavy cream and stir well. Pour the mixture into your pre-chilled ice cream maker and churn for 30 minutes.

Transfer the ice cream into a container, cover tightly and freeze for at least 4 hours. I like to use a loaf pan, top the ice cream with wax paper--pressing down so that it covers all of the ice cream; then wrapping the pan in plastic wrap. You can also use plastic containers with lids.

This Cinnamon Roll Coffee Ice Cream was deliciously creamy and had a great flavor. My family really loved it!

Even my youngest who had always proclaimed that she didn't like coffee ice cream now likes it just as much as the rest of us. ~Enjoy!
