Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup dry breakfast cereal (e.g., Cinnamon Toast Crunch)
- 1½ cups whole milk
- 2 tablespoons vanilla instant pudding mix
- ½ cup heavy cream
- Optional: ¼ cup cereal for mix-ins or garnish
Instructions
- Infuse the Milk: Combine cereal and milk in a mixing bowl. Stir and refrigerate for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to maximize flavor infusion.
- Strain the Milk: Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing the cereal to extract all liquid. Discard soggy cereal.
- Prepare the Base: Whisk pudding mix into the strained milk until dissolved. Add heavy cream and whisk until smooth.
- Freeze: Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, ensuring it doesn’t exceed the max fill line. Freeze on a level surface for at least 24 hours.
- Spin in Ninja Creami: Place the frozen pint in the Ninja Creami machine and process using the “Ice Cream” setting. If crumbly, use the “Re-spin” function or add a tablespoon of milk and re-spin.
- Optional Mix-ins: Create a well in the center of the ice cream, add crushed cereal, and process using the “Mix-In” function.
Notes
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve in bowls or cones with extra cereal on top for crunch.
- Drizzle with caramel or honey for added sweetness.
Tips & Tricks:
- Use fresh cereal for stronger flavor.
- Taste your base before freezing to adjust sweetness if needed.
- For dairy-free options, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and heavy cream with coconut cream.
Storage & Reheating:
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.
- Let ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping to soften slightly.
