Lots of people will tell you the bowl of cream should be in an ice bath when you pour the egg/milk mixture in. Do I Need an Ice Bath When Making Ice Cream? And strain the egg/milk mixture through a fine mesh sieve into the heavy cream, continuing to whisk. Keep stirring and keep your eye on it because you don't want it to thicken too much and start getting clumpy. With the heat on low, continue whisking until mixture thickens up and coats the back of your spoon. Then pour the egg/milk mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the milk. While you're heating your milk, lightly whisk the egg yolks in a separate medium bowl.Īnd pour about half of the warm milk into the egg yolks, whisking all the time (this process is called tempering and is done slowly so you don't heat the eggs too much and cook them). Stir constantly, until the mixture just reaches the point of simmer. Now, heat that milk and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Which we all know is delicious and the best part of a bowl of cereal (well, maybe besides marshmallows).
Strain the milk from the cereal and you're left with a glorious bowl of cereal milk. You really want to let the flavors meld so you're left with a delicious cereal milk. Seriously though, combine the cereal with the milk and pop it in the fridge for about 30 minutes. To start the ice cream making process, make yourself a bowl of Lucky Charms (but don't eat it!). My 6-year-old self would be seriously thrilled by this revelation. Because, like we discussed, there nearly aren't enough marshmallows in a box of Lucky Charms.Īnd also because I have an addiction to making homemade fluff. This Lucky Charms ice cream consists of a cereal milk base with Lucky Charms marshmallows mixed in. I have the ice cream attachment for my KitchenAid mixer and absolutely love it (that link is an affiliate link and though the price fluctuates, it's super on sale at the time I'm writing this post, so keep your eye on it!). While there are plenty of no-churn ice creams out there, I still fully believe you're going to get the best, creamiest ice cream with a maker, so I recommend investing in one (they're great for adding to wedding registries!). If you're scared of making homemade ice cream, don't be! It's actually really easy, even for custard-based recipes. Annnd then you quickly realize how annoyingly tedious it is to pick marshmallows out of a box of Lucky Charms. And it's obnoxious how off the marshmallow to cereal ratio is, right?īut when you're in your 30s, you can do whatever you want. You have to eat all those darn "healthy" (but not really… just not artificially colored marshmallows) cereal pieces. I mean, when you're a kid, you're not allowed to pick the marshmallows out of your Lucky Charms. Of course, the passage of time and getting older isn't all bad. But seriously, I'm happy with my new Lucky Charms ice cream photos, but I can't help but wonder if they'll be laughable again in another six years. Did you know that scientists have actually done research that supports the fact the older you get, the faster time appears to move? And that if you live to be 80, you've already passed through 71% of the subjective experience of the passage of time by the time you're 40? That is so freaking scary to me.
And also how the heck 6.5 years flew by so quickly.
It kinda makes you wonder where we'll be in another 6.5 years. Back then, mine was one of the only ones, so beggars couldn't be choosers. Because even though the actual recipe is amazingly delicious, people eat with their eyes and want an ice cream that looks as pretty as it tastes.Īlso these days? There are probably hundreds of recipes for Lucky Charms ice cream on the internet. And most readers probably wouldn't either. These days, Bon Appétit wouldn't give those photos a second look. To be fair, 2012 was a different time in the recipe creation/food blog world and I'll never forget when Bon Appétit magazine picked this recipe up and featured my photos on their website.
#Ready lucky charmas update#
Which is exactly why I'm taking the time to update this post. Oh, I was so young and innocent back in those days! And also, a really bad photographer. At the time, I was lamenting about how I was about to turn 30 years old and how fast time was flying by. I originally made this Lucky Charms ice cream wayyy back in 2012. (This recipe for Lucky Charms Ice Cream was originally published in September 2012, but has been updated with new photos and content in 2019). This Lucky Charms Ice Cream is made with cereal-infused milk and packed with extra Lucky Charms marshmallows and marshmallow fluff.
