Cinnamon Roll Ice Cream

The Reykjavík bakery Brauð & Co bakes pretty much the best cinnamon rolls you can imagine.

I was correspondingly happy when they posted a recipe for cinnamon rolls to bake yourself on their Instagram account at the end of November 2021; Of course I tried it out straight away and was really thrilled with the result! I think I've baked cinnamon rolls using this recipe three times in the last month.

For Christmas I tried a "cinnamon roll ice cream" as a dessert, basically (more or less) the marzipan-cinnamon mixture that is actually spread on the yeast dough, simply mixed with vanilla skyr and then frozen. And then served with a fresh cinnamon roll as dessert on Christmas Eve. A bit unusual, with the butter in the ice cream, and quite filling - but tasty and nice and creamy. My cinnamon roll fans at home were really impressed with the attempt.

Ingredients

200 g brown sugar

200 g soft butter

200 g marzipan

40 g ground cinnamon

700 ml vanilla skyr

Preparation

In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the sugar with the softened butter, marzipan and ground cinnamon.

Then add the vanilla skyr and mix everything into a uniform mixture.

Then fill the mixture into a suitable mold or small dessert glasses and let it freeze in the freezer for at least 4 hours.

Then serve well chilled - we added some cream and coffee spice on the ice cream and a cinnamon roll on the side.
