Cinnamon Toast Crunch Ice Cream
Ingredients:
2 cups heavy cream
3 cups half-n-half
1/2 cup granulated sugar
4 extra large egg yolks
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut up in small pieces
1/3 cup white chocolate chips
1/8 teaspoon finely ground sea salt
Directions:
In a large saucepan, over medium heat, whisk together cream, 2 cups half-n-half, and sugar; bring to a simmer, whisking frequently.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together yolks and remaining 1 cup half-n-half until well combined. Gradually whisk half of hot cream into egg mixture until combined. Whisk egg mixture into remaining cream in saucepan. Heat, whisking frequently, until cream just comes to a simmer. Strain custard into a large mixing bowl. Stir vanilla, cinnamon, and 4 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch into custard. Lightly cover and chill overnight, or until completely cold.
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Place remaining 2 cups cereal on a cookie sheet. Bake 8 minutes, or until light golden brown and toasted. Cool 5 minutes. Coarsely chop in a food processor. Melt together butter and white chocolate in the microwave on defrost mode, for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently until melted and smooth; stir mixture into cereal, along with sea salt. Place on a plate and chill until ready for use.
Strain custard into ice cream maker (discard soggy cereal). Freeze according to manufacturers' directions. In the last 5 minutes of processing, add white chocolate-buttery cereal. Freeze for 3 hours, or until ready to serve. Makes 8 servings

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Reilly! I did make this just for you.
DeleteLove this ice cream creation!
ReplyDeleteCinnamon Toast Crunch is a favorite snack of mine -- just dry, no milk. This looks great. I am biting my nails on this contest, keeping my fingers crossed for you.
ReplyDeleteI know! Me too! I'm so nervous I'm sick. :(

ReplyDeleteMaybe I could post one a week? I don't know though... they'd have to be pretty simple recipes.
DeleteCinnamon toast crunch is totally my guilty pleasure cereal. You made the right choice, for sure.

DeleteOooooh fun ice cream! I wish I had an ice cream maker, because I constantly see tasty recipes like this ... I'm just worried I wouldn't use the thing enough.
ReplyDeleteAwesome idea! This is my absolute favorite cereal, and bet it is incredible as an ice cream!
ReplyDeleteMy fiance loves CTC!! And his favorite food is ice cream, so this would be the perfect thing to make him :)
ReplyDeleteThis. Is. Amazing. I am a cinnamon addict and CTC is on the "do not buy unless you don't mind eating the whole box in one sitting" list.
ReplyDeleteI have to make myself a note to vote for you via my computer for when I go home!
Oh I know - it's addicting!
DeleteThank you for your votes!
brilliant!! that used to be one of my favorite cereals growing up
ReplyDeleteI don't think my mom bought it very much, but I always wanted it!
DeleteI haven't had the cereal in years. I do remember being fond of it though. I could go for some ice cream.
ReplyDeleteFinally had a minute to sit down and vote. Good luck. You deserve to win.
Thank you, Rachel!
DeleteYum! I wish I had an ice cream maker for this. If you packaged and sold this I would totally buy it!
ReplyDeleteI would buy it too!
DeleteIt's the taste you can see!
ReplyDeleteOkay this is kind of goofy, but this ENTIRE post reminded me of a book I read. The book is absolutely HILARIOUS! It's called Stupid and Contagious by Caprice Crane. All I can say about this post, other than the ice cream looks and sounds amazing, is Cinnamilk. The end.
ReplyDeletei read that book and thought the idea was incredible! :)
Deletei'd pay high dollar for a milkshake like that. true story.
