Put the cream in a saucepan with the milk and heat on a low heat. Meanwhile, put the sugar, the egg yolks and a few tablespoons of the milk in a bowl and mix the ingredients with a blender to a creamy, homogeneous mass.
Add the warmed cream-milk mixture and a pinch of salt to the sugar-egg yolk mixture, stirring constantly. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and slowly heat it to 80 ° C on a medium setting, stirring frequently.
As soon as the ice cream mass has become significantly more viscous and creamy and can be "peeled off into a rose", remove it from the plate.
Add a tablespoon of cinnamon to the warm mass and stir well. Cool the covered ice cream mass in the refrigerator for at least two hours. Ideally, leave in the refrigerator all night.
Then pour the mixture into the container of your ice cream machine and start the ice making mode. Cut the dates into small strips. Do not add the dates to the ice cream mixture until the end of the ice cream making process.
Meanwhile, cool down the container in which you want to put your finished ice cream in a freezer or freezer compartment.
As soon as the ice mass in the ice cream machine has reached a high level of firmness, remove the ice cream container and use a plastic spatula or wooden spoon to pour the ice into the ice cream container.
Finally, let the ice cream freeze in the freezer for about two hours until it is ideally firm.
