Fruity Pebbles ice cream is a rich, no-churn vanilla ice cream made extra creamy with cereal-infused milk and real Fruity Pebbles.
You loved the Fruity Pebble cake, so here’s a simple Fruity Pebbles ice cream you can make at home. This no-churn version is perfect for using up cereal that’s gone slightly stale, or whenever you want a fun, nostalgic frozen treat.
What is Fruity Pebbles ice cream
This recipe uses a quick, no-churn base that’s incredibly creamy and stays scoopable. It relies on whipped heavy cream folded with sweetened condensed milk and cereal-infused cream for bright flavor. The method is simple, fast, and uses only a few core ingredients.
Ingredients
- Sweetened condensed milk: sweetens the ice cream and contributes to a smooth, creamy texture.
- Heavy whipping cream: whipped to stiff peaks to create a light, airy base.
- Fruity Pebbles: provides the cereal flavor and texture. Use your preferred variety; those with marshmallows add a little extra sweetness as they dissolve.
- Vanilla and salt: optional but recommended to round out the flavor.
Step-by-step instructions
- Infuse the cream: Combine the Fruity Pebbles with the cold heavy whipping cream and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes, until the cereal softens and the cream takes on the cereal flavor.
- Whip the cream: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whip the cereal-infused cream to stiff peaks.
- Combine with condensed milk: Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and a pinch of salt until just combined.
- Freeze: Transfer the mixture to a lidded container, cover tightly, and freeze for at least 8 hours or overnight until firm.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Cocoa Pebbles, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, or other cereals work well. If the pieces are large or crunchy, pulse them briefly in a food processor for a finer texture before mixing into the cream.
Absolutely. Fold in marshmallow fluff, swirl in white chocolate ganache, or add fresh fruit. Add-ins can be folded in before freezing or used as a topping when serving.
How to make Fruity Pebbles cones
Dip waffle cones into melted white chocolate, then immediately press or dip them into a bowl of Fruity Pebbles so the cereal sticks before the chocolate sets. The same method works with cocoa cereal or cookie crumbs for a different finish.
How to store Fruity Pebbles ice cream
Store the ice cream in an airtight container or cover the surface tightly with plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals. Keep frozen for up to 2 weeks for best texture and flavor.
