Cinnamon Toast Ice Cream Recipes

CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Place cereal in a food processor and pulse until you have fine crumbs. Alternatively, you can crush the cereal in a Ziploc bag with a rolling pin (or your hands). Add the melted butter and process (or stir) until combined. The texture should be similar to wet sand.
• Build the cake: Press half of the ground cereal-butter mixture into the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan. Spread half of the softened ice cream on top of the crust. Pour dulce de leche on top of the ice cream and carefully spread. Sprinkle the remaining crust on top of the dulce de leche and carefully press down on it with your hands.
• Spread the remaining softened ice cream on top of the second cinnamon toast crunch crust layer. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until frozen, 6 hours or up to overnight.
• When ready to serve, carefully cut around the pan with a knife to loosen the cake from the springform sides. Remove the springform sides. Take off the plastic wrap and drizzle the top of the cake with dulce de leche. Decorate with more Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

CINNAMON TOAST ICE CREAM

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.
