Equipment

  • ice cream churner

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (40gms) Fruity Pebbles Cereal
  • 1 & ½ cups (375ml) full cream milk
  • 1 & ¾ cups (440ml) thickened cream
  • ½ cup (120gms) granulated sugar
  • 1 & ¼ flat teaspoons (10gms) glucose syrup

Instructions
 

  • Measure the milk. Remove about two tablespoons and put aside in a small bowl for the rest of the base.
  • Add the rest of the cold milk and the Fruity Pebbles into a jug or bowl and mix well. Cover and chill in the fridge for four hours or upto over night to infuse.
  • Once infused, strain the Fruity Pebbles from the milk, pressing down to remove as much of the cereal infused milk as possible.
  • Cover and chill in the fridge until needed.
  • Mix the tapioca starch to the reserved milk and mix to form a slurry.
  • Add the cream, sugar and glucose syrup to a small pot on the stove.
  • Heat on medium heat until just starting to bubble, then turn down. Stir until sugars are all dissolved.
  • Add the tapioca starch slurry and mix well. Turn off heat and allow to cool.
  • Add the infused Fruity Pebbles milk and mix well.
  • Chill the mix in the fridge for at least four hours, ideally overnight.
  • Chill your ice cream storage container in the freezer while you churn the ice cream.
  • Turn on your ice cream machine ten minutes before churning if using a self churning machine. Otherwise remove the canaster from freezer just before churning.
  • Pour the ice cream mix into the machine and churn the ice cream. It will be the consistency of soft serve when done.
  • Transfer the churned ice cream into a chilled container and freeze until firm.
  • Scoop and enjoy!

Notes

Ingredients:
Fruity Pebbles are a type of fun, colorful cereal.  You could use it with other similar cereals but I haven't tested the recipe with these variants.
Glucose syrup is added to help keep your ice cream scoopable straight from the freezer.  If you can't get glucose syrup try the same amount of light corn syrup instead.
