Cereal Milk Ice Cream

Our first house warming gift was an ice cream maker. Best. Gift. Ever. This flavour is based on the Cereal Milk ice cream made famous by Momofuku's Milk Bar. 

Cereal Milk

100g of cereal (I used a mix of fruit loops and corn pops)

50g of skim milk powder

2 tbl sugar

¼ tsp salt

¼ cup melted unsalted butter

2 cups whole milk

Pre heat the oven to 275f. Combine milk powder, sugar and salt. Add melted butter to cereal then add the sugar mixture. Toss to combine.  Spread mixture out on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes. Let mixture cool to room temperature.  Add cooled mixture to the milk and let steep for at least an hour in the fridge. Strain mixture and you should have 1 ½ cups of cereal milk.

 Ice Cream

1 ½ cups cereal milk

1 cup heavy cream

½ cup sugar

4 egg yolks

Combine the cereal milk, heavy cream and ¼ cup of sugar in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat. Whisk the egg yolks and remaining sugar together. Gradually whisk in half a cup of the warm milk mixture. Whisk yolk mixture into remaining cream. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat a spoon.  Strain custard into a medium bowl set into a bowl of ice water, let cool. Process custard in an ice cream maker.  Transfer to a air tight container and freeze until firm. Serve with a topping of your favourite cereal. I used Frosted Flakes.
