Creamy ice cream with the sweetness on honey and goodness of cinnamon mixed is is always delicious. Adding cinnamon crunchies makes it even better. This is the perfect ice cream to enjoy on its own or with so many desserts!
Homemade ice cream is always an amazing treat, but this recipe takes it to the next level. With honey, cinnamon and some crunch mixed in it is great on its own.
It is also fabulous served with a drizzle of caramel. Or serve it with pumpkin or apple desserts to make them over the top amazing.
We have been on a homemade ice cream making kick. It is so easy and super delicious.
Luckily MiMi went on her own ice cream quest several years ago, so we have a lot of great recipes to build on. It has been fun to go through them and make them again.
She shared this recipe back in 2016 and we have been anxious to enjoy it. However I have had a hard time getting the cinnamon chips.
I think our local grocery store must treat them as seasonal. I know I’ve seen them there before, but they haven’t been available to add to my online cart.
Luckily I found them at a local specialty store. Though they are also available on Amazon.
So if you see them at your store, go ahead and pick up a couple of bags while you can. You can toss the extras in the freezer to make more later.
Or go ahead and order them online. I promise you this ice cream recipe is worth it!

Tips for making great ice cream
Make sure you get the honey and sugar mixed into the milk completely before you add the cream. You can beat the tarnations out of the milk, but you don’t want to incorporate a ton of air into the cream.
Obviously a chilled base will freeze faster. So the colder your cream mixture is the easier time your machine will have.
Add those crispy cinnamon bits right at the end. That way they stay intact and delicious.
Use raw local honey and get some allergy benefits. Because you aren’t cooking the base, it stays raw.
Cinnamon is good for you too, so it counts as health food. 😉 So go ahead and get another scoop!
Serve this ice cream with
Mini apple crisp baked apples are part apple crisp and part baked apple. They are amazing with a scoop of ice cream on top and this particular recipe would really add something amazing!
Applesauce cake is another great fall dessert that would get that added something special with a scoop of creamy cinnamon honey ice cream.
Mini sweet potato cakes are another great option to go with a scoop of this goodness. Apples can’t have all the fun!
Slow cooker spiced apples is how we enjoyed our ice cream. A scoop on top of warm cinnamon apples is a perfect easy dessert.

I've got a Cinnamon Ice Cream in my archives waiting to be posted too! Ha ha 🙂 Great minds think alike! Mine, however, doesn't have the cinnamon crunchies. I love the addition of the crunchies, yum!
It is fun to have that difference in texture. I can't wait to see how you make your cinnamon ice cream!
This sounds delicious. Honey and ice cream with the crispy cereal are a reminder of fried ice cream. Love the Churro Ice Cream too. Yummmm!
