Why You Will Love This Recipe!

If you are a cinnamon fan or a fan of the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal you are going to love this ice cream. It has a mild cinnamon flavor and is full of crunchy pieces of cinnamon toast crunch cereal

CONE WITH CINNAMON TOAST ICE CREAM

Ingredients Needed

  • Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal
  • Milk. I always use whole milk for a richer ice cream and better texture.
  • Half and Half. If half and half is unavailable where you live replace the amount with half milk and half whipping cream
  • Heavy Cream
  • Sugar. You will need granulated sugar and brown sugar.
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Cinnamon
  • Salt

How to Make Cinnamon Toast Crunch Ice Cream

  • Soak 2 Cups of cereal in 1 1/2 C of whole milk for about 30-45 minutes. This will infuse the cinnamon flavor into the milk. You may be tempted to just drink the cinnamon milk!

  • Strain the milk through a fine mesh strainer and throw the soggy cereal away!
  • Combine the cereal infused milk with the other ingredients except for the sugared cereal and pour into my ice cream maker.  
  • Process according to manufacturer’s instructions. When the ice cream is almost done processing add in the sugared cereal and let it mix in.

Add Extra Crunch

For extra crunch we are going to sugar some of the cereal pieces with brown sugar, just like you would sugar nuts.

Sugaring the cereal prevents it from getting soggy when you add it to the ice cream. Try to coat the cereal as much as possible.

  • Place 2 cups of cereal and the brown sugar into a frying pan.

  • Over medium heat, stir until sugar melts and coats the cereal. Remove from the heat once coated.
  • Place on a plate and allow to cool. Break into pieces.
  • After the cinnamon toast crunch ice cream is done churning, stir in the sugared cereal and put the ice cream into an insulated ice cream storage container and into the freezer.

Of course when I got ready to serve it I had to add a little more cereal on top!

Stored in an airtight, insulated ice cream container it will last for a couple of weeks.

Do I have to use an ice cream maker?

This homemade ice cream recipe is designed to be made in an ice cream maker and is not meant to be a no churn ice cream.

I use a Cuisinart 2 qt. ice cream maker. I then transfer the ice cream into this insulated ice cream container to let the ice cream harden up.

    I’m speechless. I saw this recipe on pinterest and thought I would give it a try. Having never been to your website before I wasn’t sure how it would turn out. Well, I am now your number one fan!! This was INCREDIBLE! Even my husband, who is not a fan of sweets, LOVED it. Thank you for this amazing recipe and I can’t wait to try more things from your website!
