Cereal Milk! TM

Spurred by my excitement at meeting Christina Tosi I attacked the Momofuku Milk Bar Cookbook with renewed vigor.  Milk Bar may be best known for it's "cereal milk"TM, and I had yet to attempt a cereal milk recipe.  I decided to use Captain Crunchberries as the base for my cereal milk.  It had been a long time since I had eaten this cereal and was a bit dismayed to find that the crunchberrie had morphed into a multicolored fruit (blue, green, and pink).  Hence my cereal milk was an odd brownish green color instead of a beautiful pink.  I am also the type of person disappointed by the proliferation of marshmallow shapes in Lucky Charms--pink hearts, orange stars, yellow moons, blue diamonds and green clovers not good enough for Gen Z?

Fortunately once the cereal milk custard was mixed with the whipped/sour cream mixture it became a beautiful ecru color and weirdly reminiscent of peanut butter pie.  The corn cookies that are used for the crust are stand-alone fantastic--one batch of cookies made enough for two pie crusts + snacking.

What's that salad picture doing here?  Reminding you to make good food choices... Butter lettuce with watermelon, olives, feta, blood orange and chicken.  Dressed with a drizzle of white balsamic/olive oil/blood orange juice, chiffonade of basil.

I've never heard of cereal milk. Is it just cereal blended in with milk? How funny that you preceded this post with that wonderful salad. :)

I think if I ever make cereal milk, it would be with Berry Berry Kix. Only pink, purple, and neutral-colored bits and so yummy. Corn cookies sound amazing and that is one colorful salad!
