Dessert Recipes Featuring Your Favorite Cereals

March 8th, 2018

Cereal doesn’t just have to be for breakfast. When you’re craving your favorite cereal later in the day, consider making it part of your dessert after lunch or dinner. Use the following recipes to give you ideas for making delicious cereal desserts.

Apple and Peanut Butter Balls

This is a no-bake dessert recipe, so you don’t have to worry about preheating the oven and getting the baking time just right. Start by stirring a half cup of chunky peanut butter and two tablespoons of honey in a large bowl, then add two cups of your favorite wheat or rice flake cereal, along with a third cup of dried apples and an eighth teaspoon of apple pie spice. Stir these ingredients together, then put the bowl in the fridge for about one hour. Shape the mixture into balls, and you’ll have a tasty treat to enjoy after your meal.

Cereal Milkshake

Instead of having a bowl of cereal with milk for breakfast, make a cereal milkshake to have after lunch or dinner. No matter what your favorite cereal is, you can use it for a milkshake just by adding a few other ingredients and mixing them up in a blender. For this recipe, you’ll need to put one cup of milk and two cups of vanilla or chocolate ice cream into a blender, and mix them until they create a smooth texture. Add the cereal to the blender, then mix until it’s creamy. Top off your milkshake with additional cereal and some whipped cream, chocolate syrup or cinnamon sugar.

Angel Food Cake Topped with Cocoa

If your favorite cereal contains chocolate puffs or balls, you can use them to top off a freshly baked angel food cake. You’ll need angel food cake mix, four cups of powdered sugar, a quarter cup of hot water, one teaspoon of vanilla and one and one-third cups of cereal. Start by making the angel food cake as directed on the package. Combine the sugar, water and vanilla to make icing for the cake. When the cake is done baking, top it with the cereal for a divine dessert. Keep in mind that you can also use fruit-flavored cereal as a topping if you prefer that instead of chocolate.
