VANILLA ICE CREAM WITH GRAPE-NUTS

Steps:

• Combine 1 1/2 cups cream, sugar, and corn syrup in a saucepan.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to steam; watch it carefully and make sure it does not come to a boil.
• While the mixture heats, combine the remaining cream, milk powder, cornstarch, salt, and vanilla extract in a small bowl, and stir until smooth and both of the powders are dissolved.
• Add the cornstarch mixture to the pan and bring to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly.
• Whisk the mixture until smooth, and simmer the mixture over very low heat, stirring constantly , for 2 minutes or until thickened.
• If mixture is lumpy, strain it through a sieve.
• Transfer the hot liquid to a storage container and press a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming.
• Refrigerate the mixture uncovered until it is completely chilled (below 40°).
• Freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Transfer the ice cream to a chilled mixing bowl, and fold in the cereal.
• Serve immediately for a soft ice cream, or transfer the mixture to an airtight storage container and freeze until hard.
• Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving if frozen solid.
