Cornflakes crispy sweetcorn

Cornflake Crunch is milky, buttery, (deliciously crunchy), and just plain good. It takes all your baked goods up a notch and it’s also a perfect topper for your favorite ice cream, gelato, or breakfast yogurt. Plus, you probably already have a box of Cornflakes in your pantry just waiting to be used. This treat is sweet, slightly salty, with a milky buttery crunch. It’s ready in just 20 minutes and it’s a great recipe for kiddos to help make.
This Momofuku Milk Bar-inspired treat is something to make when you need a little extra flavor
and texture on things you already love.
If you read this ulimate brownie with cornflake crunch post, then you already know how I came across Christina Tosi’s Cornflake Crunch. If you haven’t read that post just know it all started with Momofuku (David Chang’s restaurant) which was a few blocks from my old apartment in the East Village, NYC. It’s a place we frequented often for its pork buns and other delicious food. Milk Bar is a dessert spin-off from Momofuku and it’s also located in the East Village just a few blocks away.

This dessert destination is a mecca of Willy Wonka’ish desserts developed by the talented pastry chef, Christina Tosi. If you’ve never had a dessert from Milk Bar (or tasted the Cornflake Crunch) once you do, you’ll understand why the whole world knows about this little shop. It takes everyday ingredients and combines them in creative, comforting, and delicious new ways. It’s recipes like this that take the ordinary to the extraordinary just by thinking outside the box.
