Tips
- Choose the right cereal: Sweeter cereals like Frosted Flakes or Cinnamon Toast Crunch work best for creating rich, flavorful milk.
- Prevent lumps by sifting cornstarch and whisking dry ingredients thoroughly before adding liquids.
- Stir constantly while cooking to ensure a smooth, even texture and prevent scorching.
- For extra flavor, try infusing the milk with different cereal types or add a splash of complementary extract like almond or coconut.
- Chill the shooters completely before serving to achieve the perfect pudding consistency.
- Get creative with garnishes - try different cereals, chocolate shavings, or a sprinkle of sea salt for added complexity.
- Use a piping bag for neat, professional-looking whipped cream topping.
