Tips for the Best Oat Milk Cinnamon Ice Cream
Choosing Quality Oat Milk: For the best texture and flavor, use a high-quality oat milk. Barista-style oat milk is often creamier and works well for ice cream.
Sweetener Choices: Agave syrup and maple syrup are great natural sweeteners that add a rich flavor. Adjust the sweetness to your preference, keeping in mind that freezing can mellow sweetness.
Adding Mix-Ins: For added texture and flavor, consider stirring in raisins, chopped nuts, or even a swirl of caramel sauce after the initial churn.
Fun Variations to Try
Apple Cinnamon Oat Milk Ice Cream: Add small chunks of cooked apple to the mixture for a delightful apple-cinnamon combination. Simply cook the apple pieces with a bit of cinnamon and sugar until soft before adding them to the ice cream.
Cinnamon Roll Ice Cream: Stir in small pieces of cinnamon roll dough or a swirl of cinnamon sugar mixture for a decadent treat that tastes like a frozen cinnamon roll.
Nutty Cinnamon Ice Cream: Add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for a crunchy texture that complements the smooth ice cream.
Storing Your Ice Cream
Store your homemade oat milk cinnamon ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. To keep it at its best, press a piece of parchment paper directly onto the surface of the ice cream before sealing the container. This helps prevent ice crystals from forming and keeps your ice cream smooth and creamy.
Perfect Pairings
Refreshing Drinks: Pair your oat milk cinnamon ice cream with a chilled glass of oat milk or a hot cup of chai tea. For a more indulgent touch, try it with a spiced latte or a warm apple cider.
Dessert Companions: Serve your ice cream alongside a warm apple pie, a slice of carrot cake, or a few cinnamon cookies for a delightful dessert combination.
