cereal desserts

[fedda]

Hi, I'm looking for inspiration to make some tasty desserts using corn flakes, cherrios, rice crispies, coco pops, etc. Thank you.

Have you looked on the kellogs website, they have a large list of things you can make with their cereals including savoury uses for conrflakes

Chocolate cornflake crispy is very good made in a round cake tin, cut into slices and served with chocolate custard.
You can also make a crunchy crumble-type topping to put on top of fruit, and cornflakes stirred into warmed golden syrup or honey make a great ice-cream topping.
Somewhere I've got a recipe for a 'blonde' cornflake crispie ie without chocolate... here it is , but it's more a cake than a pudding.
And you can make a decent cheesecake base using crushed cereal bound with melted butter in the manner of digestive biscuit crumbs.

What happened? Did Tesco deliver 20 packets of Cheerios instead of 2 ?

No, suddenly my husband felt like having dessers using cornflakes. He had some in his work and loved them. I'd like to make some for him but I need some recipies, not only the ideas althoug i really like some ideas as well. Thank you. if anyone has tried or heard of idiot proof dessers I'd be very grateful.

I'm at home now so have my recipe books

For the chocolate one I melt a 100g bar of chocolate and a knob of butter in a bowl over a saucepan of hot water, then stir in cornflakes until the liquid is absorbed and the mixture is fairly stiff. Then press into a greased cake tin and put in the fridge till cold.
Make chocolate custard from a packet to serve.

For the flan base you melt 125g of butter with 25g sugar (leave this out if using sweetened cereal like Frosties), then stir in 100g cereal and press over the base and sides of a flan tin. Fill with fruit or a cheescake-type filling (tinned peaches are good).

For the ice-cream sauce you melt 50g butter with 2 tablespoons golden syrup. When it boils add a squeeze of lemon juice and boil again for half a minute, then quickly stir in 12 tablespoons cornflakes.

Hope these help a bit...

I love the recipies. Thank you so much.

annabel karmel has one with rice krispies, apricots, white chocolate, maple syrup...
will dig it out if you are interested. sounds pretty sickly sweet to me though!

Yes, please. I'm very grateful to any suggestions

MrsBadger, do I need to bake a flan base or is it just refrigerated as a mixture?

The flan base doesn't need baking, just press down well and chill till it's firm. (sorry for the delay in reply!)

Thank you very much.
