The best way to ride out this sweltering weather? Ice cream — on steady rotation!

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 3 tbsp custard powder

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1 1/2 cups 3.25% milk

  • 1 cup 35% cream

  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

  • 2 tsp vanilla

  • 2 tbsp rainbow sprinkles

  • 8 4-oz paper cups

  • 16 Popsicle sticks

  • 2 cups coloured cereal, such as Fruit Loops, crushed

White chocolate coating

  • 225 g white chocolate chips

  • 3 tbsp coconut oil

  • 2 tsp corn syrup

Instructions

  • WHISK sugar, custard powder and salt in a medium saucepan. Whisk in milk and cream and bring to a boil over medium, whisking constantly, until thick, 6 to 8 min. Remove from heat. Whisk in condensed milk and vanilla.

  • TRANSFER to a bowl. Set over an ice bath to cool, stirring once or twice, about 20 min.

  • DIVIDE sprinkles among paper cups. Divide cream mixture among cups, then freeze for 30 min. Insert 2 Popsicle sticks into each cup, 1 in. apart in centre. Freeze until firm, at least 8 hr, preferably overnight.

  • WHITE Chocolate Coating: Melt chocolate, oil and corn syrup in a small bowl set over a small saucepan of barely simmering water. Scrape into a liquid measuring cup.

  • CUT down the centre between sticks of each cup to create 2 ice cream pops. Remove the paper and dip each half into chocolate coating to cover three-quarters of each pop. Immediately dip in cereal to coat. Return to freezer to set for 5 min.
