1

Crushing the Cap'n

Grab a bag of Cap'n Crunch cereal and crush it into small pieces. You can use a food processor, a zip-top bag, or your trusty rolling pin. Just make sure the pieces are a mix of large and small crumbs. Flex those muscles!

2

Infusing the Milk

In a saucepan, pour some whole milk and add the crushed Cap'n Crunch. Heat the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it comes to a gentle simmer. Turn off the heat and let it sit for about 15 minutes. This is where the magic happens, as the cereal infuses its delicious flavor into the milk. Mmm!

Straining the Goodness

Strain the milk mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the cereal pieces. Press down gently to extract all the flavorful milk. Farewell, Cap'n Crunch remnants!

The Custard Base

In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until pale and creamy. Slowly pour the infused milk into the bowl while whisking continuously. Return the custard mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Trust your instincts, you'll know when it's ready.

5

Chill Out

Transfer the custard into a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap, making sure it touches the surface to prevent a pesky skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. Patience, my friend, it'll be worth the wait!

Freeze and Crunchify

Pour the chilled custard into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. When it reaches a soft-serve consistency, it's time to bring in the crunch! Add a handful of crushed Cap'n Crunch and let the machine swirl the magic. Ah, the sweet symphony of creamy and crunchy!

Final Freeze

Transfer the ice cream into a lidded container and freeze it for at least 4 hours or until firm. This step is crucial to achieve scoopable perfection. Trust us, resist the temptation to dive in prematurely!
