Breakfast Cereal Popsicles

These delicious breakfast cereal popsicles are a great frozen treat! They’re a fun and sweet way to enjoy fruity cereal and yogurt in popsicle form.

You can use any type of dry cereal you’d like – we used Fruity Pebbles because they’re so bright and colorful, but lots of types would work.

These popsicles are also based on the idea of the Milk Bar’s famous cereal milk, which has been a cult favorite in cakes, panna cotta, and ice cream. Christina Tosi created it while working at Momofuku – it’s essentially just cereal steeped and milk and sweetened with sugar.

If you’re a person who loves drinking leftover milk out of a bowl of cereal, then this is the recipe for you!

Ingredients

You’ll only need a handful of ingredients to make this delicious treat.

Fruit Pebbles, yogurt, and milk.
  • Dry Cereal (preferably something sweet like Fruity Pebbles, Lucky Charms, Fruit Loops, etc)
  • Milk
  • Yogurt (either Greek Yogurt or Vanilla Yogurt)

See the recipe card for quantities.

Instructions
