if momofuku milk bar can make cereal milk ice cream i figured i could make cereal milk pastry cream and create these cereal milk eclairs. i topped them with white chocolate.
what is it about the milk at the bottom of your cereals that is so satisfying? i just love getting to the end of the bowl then drinking the milk.
you could use any cereal you like i used frosties.
I’m so glad i decided to try out this experiment as they were so good.

recipe for choux pastry
approx 1 cup 225ml water
4 tbsp 60g butter
1 cup 125g plain flour
4 eggs
pinch salt
preheat the oven to 190c 375f
in a pan add the water and butter, stir and heat until the butter melts.
once melted stir in the flour and salt and keep stirring until the dough comes away from the sides of the pan, stir over the heat for another 1 to 2 minutes then transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer, turn on mixer (mixing the dough releases the steam and helps cool it down quicker)
let cool for 2 minutes then in a small bowl mix the egg yokes and then pour in 1/4 to the mixture, turn up the mixer and beat until it is fully combined then add the some more making sure its properly incorporated before adding the rest.
once all the egg is added spoon into a piping bag and pipe 6 inch lines on a baking paper lined cookie sheet or use an eclair pan.
turn the oven down to 180c 350f and bake for 25 minutes
remove them and prick a small hole then return them for a further 5 minutes.
leave to cool.

2 cups 500ml full fat milk
1/4 cup 60g caster sugar
6 egg yokes
2 tbsp 25g corn flour
about 1 cup 125g cereals
1 tsp vanilla extract
add the cereals to the milk and let sit for 10 minutes, pour through a sift and then squeeze any left over milk out of the cereals and pour the milk into a pan and bring to the boil.
in a bowl mix the yokes and sugar until pale then add the flour, pour 1/4 of the hot milk in to the egg mixture and stir in to temper the eggs then pour it all back into the pan
stir continuously until it thickens then push through sift in to a bowl and press a piece of cling film onto the top so that a skin doesn’t form, leave to cool.

cereal milk eclairs – I love this idea! Can't wait to try it.
Oh, yummy!
Eclairs are probably my favourites, these looks great. Seriously Amy – are you applying for bake off? You know you should, you'd be fab!
