Snickerdoodle Ice Cream Recipe

Ingredients with Measurements:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup snickerdoodle cookie dough, chopped into small pieces

Special equipment needed:
- Ice cream maker

Step-by-step instructions:

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until light and frothy. Slowly pour about 1 cup of the hot cream mixture into the eggs, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

3. Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture, whisking constantly.

4. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

5. Remove the mixture from the heat and strain it through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl. Let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.

6. Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.

7. During the last few minutes of churning, add the chopped snickerdoodle cookie dough to the ice cream maker and let it mix in.

8. Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
