Milk Bar {Monday} Sweet Corn Cereal Milk Ice Cream Pie -
Woah that's a long way huh? Much is happening in this delicious treat ice .... Again Christina Tosi has created a complex and delicious dessert with layers of flavors. This pie is sweet, slightly creamy light, salty and actually quite. This is the perfect thing to wear to a barbecue or barbecue, because not only is it very refreshing, but it is a sure conversation starter-fire. I guarantee anyone who tastes it will demand all the flavors and ingredients involved. I for one love when that happens. :)
start with the crust. Now, perhaps you remember I mentioned earlier Friday that it was made of corn delicious biscuits. They are crushed to pieces and pressed into a pie pan. In the crust is filling that is made of sweet corn pudding, folded into a mixture of whipped cream. Everything is frozen for a few hours then ready to cut and enjoy. In the book, it is recommended to top the pie with local / fruit in season, so my organic berries were perfect. Tosi called pieces of this pie "slices of heaven" and I totally agree!
My favorite aspect of the pie filling was sweet corn Cearal milk. This was done by dipping milk with Capt'n Crunch cereal to leave the really absorb all the flavors. A pinch of salt and brown sugar were then stirred in, making it a truly unexpected treat. I could have just that right sipped all day, it was so good!
Overall, I really liked this pie. The recipes in this book got a lot easier for me, or maybe I'm just used at all stages now. Anyway, I'm so happy with how the project / experience will almost 6 months later. It introduced me to so many different ingredients and techniques that I surely would never have tried before. It was so helpful to challenge myself out of my comfort zone and I am so happy that we still have many recipes left !!
This week was very busy for most girls, so Big Fat Erin Baker and I were able to view this pie. Make sure to check out the pie and the recipe on its website and share the love! We'll be back in two weeks with another Milk Bar treat!
