Cinnamon SorbetThis Cinnamon Sorbet is very popular in Chile, old-fashioned nowadays, but perfect for hot summer afternoons.

Cinnamon is a spice derived from the inner bark of several tree species from the genus Cinnamomum. It is commonly used in sweet and savory dishes, drinks, and desserts. Cinnamon is warm, sweet, and slightly spicy, often associated with autumn and winter holidays.

There are two main types of cinnamon: Ceylon cinnamon (also known as "true" cinnamon) and cassia cinnamon. Ceylon cinnamon is milder and sweeter in flavor, while cassia cinnamon has a more robust, more intense flavor and is the type of cinnamon most commonly found in grocery stores.
Cinnamon is sold in various forms, including ground, sticks, and oil. When using cinnamon in cooking, using the appropriate amount for the recipe is crucial, as it can be pretty potent and overpowering if used in excess.

  • Dulce de Leche ice cream
  • Lucuma ice cream

  • pinch of salt
