Snickerdoodle Ice Cream

4:58 a.m.  1st order of business:  start churning ice cream. 🙂  Who’s with me?

Snickerdoodle Ice Cream | Inspiration Kitchen2nd order of business:  make yourself a cup of coffee.

Unless your coffee maker is out of commission, like mine is.  Another darn good reason to start digging into the ice cream.

Snickerdoodle Ice Cream | Inspiration KitchenAt least I have my priorities right.  How about you?  🙂  If you aren’t making ice cream right now, I’d say you’d better re-prioritize.  Dust off the ice cream maker and start churning some cream, baby!

Snickerdoodle Ice Cream | Inspiration KitchenSo despite my coffee maker troubles that I’m sure you don’t want to hear about, welcome to the sugary, sweet treat of super soft-serve Snickerdoodle Ice Cream.

a.k.a. the hardest dish I’ve ever had to photograph.

This ice cream is delightfully good, but it’s definitely a soft serve ice cream straight out of the freezer.  No worries about heating your ice cream scoop or breaking your wrist scooping it out of the container with this one!  Oh no, this one joyfully glides right out!  🙂

Everyone loves joyful ice cream, right?

If you love Snickerdoodle Cookies, you will love this ice cream version of them.  Full of cinnamon and sugar, it’s sweet and just like the cookie, only in ice cream form.  This recipe doesn’t use eggs, so it keeps it soft-serve texture unlike many other ice creams you make (like this Candied Pecan Maple Ice Cream).

For an extra pop of sugar (because who doesn’t need a sugar high every now and then?), crumble up Snickerdoodle cookies and place them at the bottom of the bowl, or sprinkle them on top.  You can also cut them like pie shapes and stick them out of the top!  You have to admit, there’s something fun and scoopable about a soft serve ice cream – it begs to have adornments!  🙂

p.s.  please know that this ice cream recipe will not hard-pack.  So, if you’re into that, this probably isn’t the ice cream for you.  But soft-serve lovers?  Bon apetit!

Enjoy!

    wow! For being hard to photograph, these pictures turned out beautiful! I love the ones taken from above! I absolutely love snickerdoodles (I have a recipe coming later in the week! ) But I’ve never made my own ice cream if you can believe that. I’m going to have to give this a shot! I hope your coffee maker gets better soon! 🙂

    Kristi I totally feel you. Photographing ice cream is so hard isn’t it? It’s my least favourite thing to photograph, especially as I don’t have air conditioning in our place!

    Great pics – photographing ice cream is almost impossible! The white glare (usually), the melting, the condensation! You did a great job. My husband is all about the soft serve and I’m just all about ice cream period. My ice cream bowl is always in the freezer. I get a hankering to make a batch all the time regardless of the season. This snickerdoodle idea is very smart.
