Coffee, chocolate, and cinnamon in an ice cream--I don't see how I wouldn't have liked this. And so easy to throw together. I used 1 cup cream, 1 cup skim milk, and sugar for an "in-between" calorie count. This gave it an "in-between" texture too, but that is to be expected. Next time I'm gonna try it full fat for an indulgence. Made for My 3 Chefs Spring 2008.
