Low Carb “Silly Rabbit Cereal” Ice Cream

I’m always on the lookout for new sources of ice cream flavoring. I tried a bunch of samples from One on One Flavors and I’m sorry to say most of them aren’t worth mentioning...with a couple exceptions. Two of their cereal flavorings are REALLY good! This ice cream uses their “Fruity Flakes Flavored Liquid Concentrate,” which is designed to taste something like a certain multi-colored caveman-themed cereal that resembles tiny rocks. Quite recently, I received an order of keto cereal made by The Cereal School. The “Fruity” variant is reminiscent of another cereal featuring a “silly rabbit” on the box. I wasn’t crazy about this cereal as a cereal, oddly enough, but as a mix-in, it pairs incredibly well with this ice cream.

The cereal bits get a little soggy in the finished ice cream. This isn’t surprising. Regular cereal-based ice creams are made something like this: Separate the stuff that gets soggy from the stuff that holds up in milk. Soak the stuff that gets soggy in the ice cream mix for a few hours to impart its flavor and strain it out. Mix in the non-soggy items into the ice cream when it’s done churning. Since my choices for low carb cereal are extremely limited, we’ll have to live with the recipe as is. Nevertheless, I gotta say that I love this combo!

UPDATE 2020:03/28: I don’t usually freeze my add-ins since they can get frost build-up or become too brittle. This is an exception. Put the sealed bag of cereal in the freezer. Open and add to the ice cream quickly.

Ingredients


Low Carb Sweet Cream Base
1-2 teaspoons Fruity Flakes Flavored Liquid Concentrate
1 package The Cereal School, Fruity

Directions

  1. Empty the contents of the cereal package into an empty ice cream container and put into the freezer.
  2. Follow the instructions for the Low Carb Sweet Cream Base. Add the concentrate after the mix has cooled, if applicable. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for a few hours.
  3. Follow your ice cream maker’s directions for making ice cream. Add the cereal to the ice cream maker approximately one minute before it’s done. Remove from the ice cream maker using a silicone spatula into the container. Freeze until solid.
