To make Cinnabon ice cream, start by preparing the cinnamon roll filling. Mix melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Set this mixture aside for later use.
Next, create the ice cream base. Beat sweetened condensed milk and cream cheese until smooth. Then, add heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Continue beating until the mixture is light and fluffy with soft peaks.
Now, combine the filling and the ice cream base. Spread one-third of the ice cream base into a deep pan. Spoon one-third of the cinnamon roll filling on top and swirl with a knife. Repeat the layering two more times.
Finally, cover the pan with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 8 hours. Once frozen, you can serve the ice cream on its own or between brioche donuts for a delightful treat.
