2nd day of September! Bring on the pumpkin spice!
Corn Flake Crunch
Things I have been loving: Corn flake desserts.
- Watch Netflix’s Chefs Table episode documenting Pastry Chef Christina Tosi. She is the creative force behind Milk Bar in Boston. Crack Pie, cereal milk soft serve, and Corn Flake Marshmallow Cookies are some of her signature items she sells and they all share the magical ingredient, ( think DIY frosted flakes) Corn Flake Crunch.
- Chrissy Teigne’s recipe from her book Cravings. The French Toast Casserole with Frosted Flakes is perfect for brunch. UPDATE (I adapted recipe and made french toast muffins- fantastic!)
- More rustic is maple glaze corn flakes from the cookbook Whip it Up, written by Billy Green. He suggests using as a topping for ice cream.
- Want something chewy, crispy and chocolatey, comes together in about 5 minutes? Make Torres corn flake clusters. Quick, easy, and only 2 ingredients. No oven needed. Priceless in summer and baking with kids.
Chocolate Corn Flake Clusters
Recipe from Food and Wine
Ingredients:
- 1 lb dark or milk chocolate tempered (I used the microwave method)
- 4 cups corn flakes
Step 1 Pour the corn flakes into a large mixing bowl, then pour about half of the tempered chocolate over them. Use a rubber spatula and mix until evenly coated. The tempered chocolate will immediately begin to set. Once the chocolate has set, repeat with the remaining chocolate to give a second coat.
Step 2 Quickly scoop small mounds of the chocolate corn flakes onto a parchment paper-covered baking sheet (I used a cookie scoop).
Step 3 Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden. Store room temperature in an air tight container.
