Cereal milk ice cream is a nostalgic treat that transforms the sweet, fruity flavors of Froot Loops into a creamy, dreamy dessert. Perfect for summer days or anytime you crave a fun twist on classic ice cream, this recipe is made with a rich custard base and churned to perfection using a Cuisinart ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 8 cups Froot Loops cereal
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 5 egg yolks
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Infuse the Milk:
    Soak Froot Loops in milk for 1 hour in the fridge. Strain through a fine mesh sieve, pressing gently to extract the cereal-flavored milk. You should have about 1½ cups of liquid.
  2. Prepare the Custard Base:
    In a saucepan, combine the cereal milk, heavy cream, half the sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Heat over medium heat until it just starts to boil, whisking occasionally.
  3. Temper the Egg Yolks:
    In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks and remaining sugar until smooth. Gradually add one-third of the hot milk mixture to the yolks while whisking constantly to prevent curdling. Repeat with another third, then the final third.
  4. Cook the Custard:
    Pour the tempered mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (170–175°F). Do not let it boil.
  5. Chill the Base:
    Strain the custard into a clean bowl to remove any lumps. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours or overnight.
  6. Churn the Ice Cream:
    Follow your Cuisinart ice cream maker’s instructions to churn the chilled custard into ice cream (about 20–25 minutes).
  7. Freeze and Serve:
    Transfer churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours for a firmer texture. Serve topped with extra Froot Loops for crunch!

Notes

Serving Suggestions: Scoop into bowls or waffle cones and garnish with whipped cream or more Froot Loops for added fun!

Tips & Tricks:

  • Strain the cereal milk thoroughly for a smooth texture.
  • Avoid overheating the custard to prevent scrambled eggs.
  • Let frozen ice cream sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before scooping.

Storage & Reheating: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. Place plastic wrap directly on top of the ice cream to prevent freezer burn.
