This Apple Cider Float with Homemade Cinnamon Ice Cream is a cozy, creamy dessert with autumn vibes. Spiced cinnamon ice cream pairs perfectly with crisp apple cider for a float that’s sweet, nostalgic, and absolutely refreshing.

  • Total Time: 2 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 floats 1x

Ingredients

Scale

**For the Cinnamon Ice Cream:**

2 cups heavy cream

1 cup whole milk

3/4 cup granulated sugar

2 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

**For the Float:**

4 cups chilled apple cider

Cinnamon sticks or apple slices (optional garnish)

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together cream, milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt until sugar dissolves.

2. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer’s instructions (about 20–25 minutes).

3. Transfer to a container and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

4. To assemble floats, add 2 scoops of cinnamon ice cream to a tall glass.

5. Pour chilled apple cider over the ice cream.

6. Top with a cinnamon stick or apple slice for garnish.

No ice cream maker? Use a no-churn method by whipping cream, folding in sweetened condensed milk, cinnamon, and vanilla.

Use sparkling apple cider for a fizzy twist.

Great for fall parties, Halloween, or Thanksgiving dessert.
