Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream (35% fat)
- 2 1/2 cups cornflakes
- 4 large egg yolks
Sweeteners and Stabilizers:
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons corn syrup
Seasoning:
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- Extra cornflakes for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F and distribute cornflakes evenly on a baking sheet, creating a single layer for uniform toasting. Roast for approximately 15 minutes until flakes develop a deeper golden hue.
- Remove toasted cornflakes from oven and immediately submerge in milk. Gently stir to ensure complete contact, allowing flavors to meld. Refrigerate mixture for 3 hours to intensify cereal essence.
- Carefully strain milk through fine-mesh sieve, pressing cornflakes to extract maximum flavor. Reserve exactly 2 cups of infused cereal milk.
- Whisk egg yolks with sugar, corn syrup, and salt until achieving a smooth, pale consistency. Gradually incorporate cereal milk and heavy cream, blending thoroughly.
- Transfer mixture to saucepan and heat slowly, stirring consistently. Monitor temperature carefully, warming to precisely 165°F without allowing liquid to boil.
- Remove from heat and allow custard to reach room temperature. Transfer to refrigerator and chill for 2-4 hours until completely cold.
- Pour chilled mixture into ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer’s specific instructions, typically 20-25 minutes.
- Transfer freshly churned ice cream to freezer-safe container. Freeze for 2-4 hours until desired firmness is achieved.
Notes
- Toasting cornflakes intensifies their flavor, creating a deeper, nuttier profile that elevates the entire ice cream.
- Chilling the cereal milk mixture allows flavors to fully develop and infuse, ensuring maximum taste complexity.
- Straining cornflakes carefully helps extract maximum essence without unwanted texture in the final ice cream.
- Cooking custard precisely to 165F ensures food safety while maintaining a silky, smooth consistency without risking curdling.
