Yield Makes 1 1/4 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups whole milk
2 (3-inch) cinnamon sticks
5 slices firm white sandwich bread
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 large egg yolks
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon molasses
1 cup heavy cream
Special Equipment
an instant-read thermometer; an ice cream maker

Steps:

  • Bring milk and cinnamon sticks to a boil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan, then remove from heat and let steep, covered, 30 minutes.
  • While milk steeps, put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 300°F.
  • Cut 3 slices bread into 1/4-inch cubes and transfer to a bowl. Quarter remaining 2 slices and pulse in a food processor to make bread crumbs. Whisk together butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in another bowl. Drizzle 3 tablespoons butter mixture over bread cubes and stir to lightly coat. Spread in 1 layer in a shallow baking pan. Add bread crumbs to remaining butter mixture and stir to evenly coat. Spread crumbs evenly in another shallow baking pan.
  • Bake bread cubes and crumbs, stirring occasionally and switching position of pans halfway through baking, until golden brown and crisp, about 25 minutes total. Cool in pans on racks, then transfer bread crumbs to a bowl.
  • Return milk to a boil, then pour over bread crumbs and let stand 10 minutes. Pour milk through a fine-mesh sieve into saucepan, pressing hard on solids, then discarding them.
  • Whisk together yolks, granulated sugar, molasses, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Return milk mixture to a boil and add half to yolk mixture in a slow stream, whisking until combined well. Add yolk mixture in a slow stream to milk in saucepan, whisking, then cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is thickened and thermometer registers 170 to 175°F (do not let boil).
  • Remove from heat and immediately stir in cream, then pour custard through fine-mesh sieve into a metal bowl. Quick-chill custard by setting bowl into a larger bowl of ice and cold water and stirring occasionally until cold, about 15 minutes. Freeze custard in ice cream maker until almost firm. Fold bread cubes into ice cream, then transfer to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden, at least 2 hours.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cinnamon toast crunch cereal for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh cereal, you can use stale cereal, but it won't be as flavorful.
  • Don't over-mix the ice cream base. Over-mixing will make the ice cream tough.
  • Chill the ice cream base for at least 4 hours before churning. This will help the ice cream to set properly.
  • Churn the ice cream according to the manufacturer's instructions. If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the ice cream base in a covered container for several hours, stirring it every 30 minutes or so to break up the ice crystals.
  • Store the ice cream in the freezer for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the ice cream to firm up.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon Toast Crunch ice cream is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover cereal, and it is also a fun and festive dessert to serve at parties. With its sweet and cinnamony flavor, Cinnamon Toast Crunch ice cream is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
