Ingredients

Scale

Confetti Cookies

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/3 cup rainbow sprinkles
  • 1/2 cup corn flakes

Cereal Milk Ice Cream

  • 2 1/2 cups corn flakes
  • 2 1/4 cups heavy cream
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder until well combined. Set aside.
  2. Make Cookie Dough: Microwave the unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl for 20 seconds on high until softened. Add light brown sugar and granulated sugar to the butter and mix on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix again until fully combined, scraping down the bowl as needed.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just nearly combined. Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles and corn flakes.
  4. Chill Dough and Preheat Oven: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a #20 (3 tablespoon) cookie scoop, portion 12 cookies onto the sheet. Refrigerate the cookie dough for 30 minutes to firm up. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies for 14 minutes until set and lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.
  6. Make Cereal Milk Base: Pour 1 1/4 cups of the heavy cream into a saucepan. Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and salt and warm over medium-high heat, stirring until sugars dissolve. Remove from heat and add the remaining heavy cream, whole milk, and vanilla extract. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  7. Steep Corn Flakes: Place 2 1/2 cups corn flakes in a large jar or pitcher. Pour the cream mixture over the corn flakes and stir vigorously. Refrigerate overnight to steep and develop the cereal milk flavor.
  8. Strain Mixture: Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing down on the corn flake mush with a spatula to extract maximum flavor.
  9. Churn Ice Cream: Pour the strained cereal milk mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  10. Freeze Ice Cream: Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for 6-8 hours until firm.
  11. Freeze Cookies Before Assembly: Before making the sandwiches, place the cooled cookies in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up.
  12. Assemble Ice Cream Sandwiches: Remove cookies and ice cream from the freezer. Place a scoop of firm ice cream on the flat side of one cookie, then top with the flat side of a second cookie to form a sandwich.
  13. Set and Store: Serve immediately or place the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet and freeze for another hour to harden. Store finished sandwiches in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.

Notes

  • Refrigerating the cookie dough helps prevent spreading during baking, resulting in thicker cookies perfect for sandwiches.
  • Steeping the corn flakes overnight infuses the ice cream with a rich, nostalgic cereal milk flavor.
  • Ensure the ice cream is fully firmed in the freezer before assembly to avoid melting when making sandwiches.
  • Rainbow sprinkles add a colorful festive touch, but you can substitute with regular sprinkles if desired.
  • If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the mixture in a container and stir every 30 minutes until firm to mimic churned texture.
