Ingredients (1 serving):

Ice cream:

  • 2 dl Honey puffs cereal 

  • 3 dl milk

  • 2 dl heavy cream

  • 1.5 dl granulated sugar

  • 4 large egg yolks

  • 1/4 tsp salt

Milkshake:

  • 1 dl milk

  • 4 cl whiskey liqour - (Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey)

  • 1 dl ice cream

  • 1 dl Honey Puffs

  • 0.5 tbsp honey

Garnish:

  • whipped cream

  • extra honey

  • extra Honey Puffs

How to:

Ice cream:

To start the ice cream making process, soak the honey puffs in the milk and the heavy cream. Leave it in the fridge for about 30 minutes. You really want to let the flavors meld so you’re left with a delicious cereal milk.

Strain the milk from the cereal and you’re left with a glorious bowl of cereal milk. 

Now, heat that milk and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly, until the mixture just reaches the point of simmer. Then remove from heat. While you’re heating your milk, lightly whisk the egg yolks in a separate medium bowl.

Pour about half of the warm milk into the egg yolks, whisking all the time ( tempering the mixture so you don’t heat the eggs too much and cook them). Then pour the egg/milk mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the milk. With the heat on low, continue whisking until mixture thickens up and coats the back of your spoon. Keep stirring and keep your eye on it because you don’t want it to thicken too much and start getting clumpy.  Remove from heat and let it cool down completely. Then  pour it in the ice cream machine making Honey Puff ice cream. :)

Milkshake:

Combine the milk and the ice cream in a blender. Blend for 10-15 seconds or until smooth. Add the Honey Puffs and honey and blend until combined and pour into a glass. If desired, top each milkshake with whipped cream,honey and extra Honey Puffs.
