Ingredients

2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 tablespoon whipping cream
2 cup half-and-half
2 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup cheerios
1/4 cup macerated berries and purée
pinch of salt

Directions

In a heavy saucepan, combine the first 5 ingredients. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick enough to coat a metal spoon and reaches at least 160 degrees. Add in the Cheerios. Remove from the heat; cool quickly by setting the pan in ice and stirring the mixture. Cover and refrigerate overnight. When ready to freeze, strain out the Cheerios, then pour the custard and vanilla extract into the cylinder of an ice cream freezer. Freeze according to the manufacturer's directions.
Before serving, fold in the berries and purée for swirl and ¼ cup of Cheerios before to garnish.
