The Daily Scoop: Cinnamon Toast Ice Cream

Well, Ice Cream Month is officially underway, and our contest got kicked off today as well. (Did you see those Sur La Table prizes yet?) To celebrate, here's today's installment of the Daily Scoop - a very breakfasty ice cream.

This is a basic egg-yolk-enriched ice cream with a twist: cinnamon croutons get stirred in too for an authentic cinnamon toast crunchiness.

The Gourmet editors said that they were astonished at how well the little bits of toast stayed crunchy and cinnamony in the middle of the creamy ice cream. All the reviews bear them out; it sounds like this is a sweet, creamy ice cream that actually tastes like buttery cinnamon toast. Yum!

Sounds delish and original!! I'll try it for sure. But for now, I'm very happy with the blueberry ice cream I made yesterday. With a sprinkle of cocoa on top, it's simply divine.

Surreal. I actually made a similar ice cream, except with Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. Ended up being so yummy.

This sounds amazing! Can I make ice cream without an ice cream maker?

I loveeee putting Cinnamon Toast Crunch on vanilla ice cream too!
