Cereal: it’s a college kid staple. But by your six hundredth bowl of Special K, it’s understandable if you’re ready for something a little more gourmet. Momofuku Milk Bar in New York City makes an absolutely delicious concoction known as cereal milk ice cream, which tastes about like what you’d expect if you took that sugary, syrupy liquid you find at the bottom of your bowl after all the cereal has gone… and blended it….and turned it into ice cream.
In the spirit of Momofuku, here’s an insanely good cereal smoothie.
