Ingredients
Fruity Pebble Whipped Cream
- 2 cups (427ml) heavy whipping cream
- 1 ¼ cup (45g) Fruity Pebble cereal, divided
- ¼ cup (32g) Powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Lucky Charms Whipped Cream
- 2 cups (427ml) heavy whipping cream
- 1 ½ cups (54g) Lucky Charms cereal, divided
- ¼ cup (32g) Powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prep the cereal milk overnight. In an airtight container, combine the heavy cream with 1 cup of cereal. Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. Stir a couple of times for best results.
- Make the whipped cream. When ready, place a fine mesh sieve over the top of a large bowl. Press the cereal using a spatula or measuring cup to extract as much liquid as possible. You should end up with around 1 cup of heavy cream. Discard leftover cereal.
- Place the mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes to chill.
- Pour the heavy cream into the chilled bowl and use an electric or stand mixer to beat the heavy cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
- Slowly add the powdered sugar and continue beating at high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Grind the remaining cereal into fine crumbs with a food processor. Beat into prepared whipped cream.
