#CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH BAR SOFT FILLED CRACKER#

I recommend placing the clusters on top of your pie an hour or two before you serve it. Allow it to cool completely before breaking it up into bite-sized clusters. It might look rather plain right out of the box, but it adds incredible texture and depth of flavor to whatever you add it to!Īfter a little melted butter is stirred into the mixture, it goes into the oven for about 20 minutes to get nice and toasty. Although milk powder is kind of a random ingredient, I love using it for all kinds of baked goods. There’s no liquid at all–just millions of tiny pebbles. Milk powder is essentially milk in its most concentrated form. Now it’s time to make the Cinnamon Toast Crunch clusters! With your hands, coarsely crush the cereal into a bowl, then toss in some sugar and a little milk powder. Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the other filling, and refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours. To the reserved 1 cup of filling, stir in a teaspoon of cinnamon. To finish off the filling, remove 1 cup of the filling from the bowl, then spread the rest of the filling into the pie crust. You’ll save the remaining whipped cream for the top of the pie! Remove the bowl from the mixer and fold in another cup of the whipped cream. Once the mixture is smooth, add 1 cup of the whipped cream and beat until combined. Switch the whisk attachment out for the paddle attachment, then start beating your cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, and salt together. To avoid extra clean-up, just transfer the whipped cream to another bowl, and return the bowl to the mixer. Add some powdered sugar and a splash of vanilla, and continue whipping the cream until stiff peaks form. Discard the cereal, and whip the cereal cream until soft peaks form. Gently press down on the soggy cereal to extract any extra flavor. No need to bake this crust! Just place it in the refrigerator while you get started on the filling.Īfter your cereal has soaked long enough in the cream, place a fine mesh sieve over your mixing bowl, and pour the cream through the sieve. Make sure that every single piece of cereal is finely-crushed, so that the crust stays together when you cut into later on.Īlthough Cinnamon Toast Crunch might seem sweet enough on its own, a few tablespoons of brown sugar are definitely a must for extra flavor, and of course, sweetness! After everything is tossed with some melted butter, the mixture gets pressed evenly into a pie dish.

This pie crust is essentially a graham cracker crust, but instead of graham crackers, we’ll be using Cinnamon Toast Crunch! You’ll need to crush your cereal either in a food processor or a large ziplock bag with a rolling pin. While the cereal is soaking in the cream, it’s a good time to work on the crust. Because once it’s done soaking, we won’t be using any of that soggy cereal. I like to stir it from time to time just to make sure that the heavy cream is thoroughly absorbing every piece of the cereal. You’ll basically combine equal parts cereal with equal parts heavy cream and allow them to soak for about 45 minutes in the refrigerator. For this recipe, however, we’re technically going to be making cereal cream since heavy cream is used in place of the milk. In other words, it’s the leftover milk in the bottom of the bowl once you’ve eaten all of the cereal. So, let’s get down to business, shall we?įirst things first! We gotta get started on the cereal milk! Now, in case you’re unaware of the magic that is cereal milk, it’s basically the nectareous liquid that’s been infused with all of the delicious sweetness and flavor of the cereal. Although I was kind of aiming for a true no-bake pie, I will say that HANDS-DOWN the crunchies are totally worth it!! The only component that involves an oven is the Cinnamon Toast Crunch crunchies on top. The beauty of this pie is that’s it’s mostly no-bake. It’s made with over SIX cups of the cereal, so you know it’s not skimping on that deliciously iconic flavor at all! It has a Cinnamon Toast Crunch crust, a rich Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal milk filling, dollops of Cinnamon Toast Crunch whipped cream, and buttery crispy clusters of Cinnamon Toast Crunch crunchies! So if you were counting, this pie contains a whopping FOUR times the Cinnamon Toast Crunch! When I say that this pie is absolutely loaded with Cinnamon Toast Crunch, I’m not exaggerating.
