Snickerdoodle Ice Cream

This ice cream is named for the childhood cookie memory of Snickerdoodle cookies - those simple sugar cookies that get a kick by being rolled in cinnamon sugar before baking. Here, the addition of cinnamon to a basic vanilla custard ice cream invokes the same flavor profile. (Tip: use a whisk to get the cinnamon to incorporate into the ice cream base.)
