Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients:

  • Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal 2 cups – Infuses the ice cream with its signature cinnamon-sugar flavor and adds a delightful crunch.
  • Heavy cream 2 cups – The base for a rich and creamy texture.
  • Sweetened condensed milk 1 can, 14 oz – Adds sweetness and helps create a smooth, scoopable consistency.
  • Whole milk ½ cup – Helps lighten the mixture while keeping it creamy.
  • Vanilla extract 1 teaspoon – Enhances the overall flavor with a warm, aromatic touch.
  • Ground cinnamon ½ teaspoon – Boosts the cinnamon flavor, making each bite even more delicious.

Optional Add-Ins:

  • Crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch for topping – Adds extra crunch when serving.
  • Caramel sauce – A sweet drizzle pairs beautifully with the cinnamon notes.
  • A pinch of sea salt – Balances the sweetness and enhances the flavors.

Instructions
 

Step 1: Infuse the Cream with Cinnamon Toast Crunch

  • In a large mixing bowl, add 1 ½ cups of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal and pour in 2 cups of heavy cream.
  • Let the mixture sit for about 20 minutes, allowing the cereal to release its cinnamon-sugar flavor into the cream.
  • Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing gently on the cereal to extract as much flavored cream as possible. Discard the soggy cereal.

Step 2: Whip the Cream

  • Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the infused cream until soft peaks form. This helps create a light and airy texture in the ice cream.

Step 3: Prepare the Ice Cream Base

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together:
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture, using a spatula to keep the mixture light and fluffy.

Step 4: Add the Crunch

  • Crush the remaining ½ cup of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal into small pieces. Fold it into the ice cream base for added crunch and texture.

Step 5: Freeze the Ice Cream

  • Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan or airtight container. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Sprinkle extra Cinnamon Toast Crunch pieces on top for decoration.
  • Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours, or until the ice cream is firm and scoopable.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!

  • When ready to serve, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes for easier scooping.
  • Serve in bowls or cones, and if you like, drizzle with caramel sauce for an extra indulgent touch.
