This cap'n crunch ice cream is like childhood to me. It's better than the typical bowl of cereal because it is ice cream! And I love ice cream! Who wouldn't want this for breakfast??? It's super easy to make and you and your family will love to eat it too.
Really the only time consuming part on making this cereal is to soak the cereal in the milk base. First you want to cook the ice cream base and then you will pour the cereal in. You will want to make sure that the cereal isn't floating and is completely submerged, so I put some tinfoil on top and push it down to the surface. Then you let it sit overnight in the fridge. Before you turn the ice cream, make sure you strain the cereal out.
Change it up!
You don't have to make it into a cap'n crunch ice cream. Have fun with it and use your favorite type of cereal instead! Fruit loops, cocoa puffs, luck charms. It's not hard at all to substitute with your favorite childhood breakfast.
