Cinnamon Toast Crunch / Cereal Milk Pint Recipe

Prep Time: 25 minutes (plus steeping and chilling)

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: About 5 hours (including chilling and freezing)

Servings: 1 pint (3–4 servings)

Ingredients:

2 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal (plus extra for topping)

1 cup whole milk

1 cup heavy cream

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon light brown sugar

2 large egg yolks

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions:

Toast cereal on a baking sheet at 300°F (150°C) for 5–7 minutes until fragrant; cool slightly.

Warm milk, cream, sugars, and salt until steaming. Remove from heat, stir in toasted cereal, and steep 20–30 minutes.

Strain through a fine sieve, pressing on cereal to extract cereal milk. Discard cereal.

Temper egg yolks with some warm cereal milk, then return to pan. Cook on low, stirring, until slightly thickened. Stir in vanilla.

Strain again, cool, then chill thoroughly in the fridge until very cold, at least 4 hours or overnight.

Churn in an ice cream maker until soft-serve texture. Fold in extra cereal if desired, pack into a pint container, and freeze 3–4 hours until firm.

Notes

Pro Tip:
Toast any cereal you add at the end so it stays crunchy longer and brings out a deeper cinnamon flavor in every bite.
