Notes
Recipe calls for heavy cream - light cream or half & half can be substituted in a pinch.
Cinnamon - I love it and would personally prefer this with an additional 1/2 teaspoon of it. I tone it down for those who do not share my enthusiasm of the spice. So if you're on "team cinnamon lover" - go ahead and add a bit more.
