Lucky Charms Blondies with A Cereal Milk Frosting
Cereal milk (as made famous by the one and only Christina Tosi) has become quite the trend in the dessert world. The concept is clear. The milk is meant to taste like the milk at the bottom of the cereal bowl that has absorbed all of the delicious sugary nostalgic goodness. The nice part about cereal milk is that it can be created with any kind of cereal!
In this recipe, we go with a St.Patrick’s day Lucky Charms theme. We top a rich, dense and chewy blondie with a light and fluffy cereal milk frosting. Then we scatter a few lucky charms marshmallows on top. If you are not inclined to pick the marshmallows out of the box one by one, you can always buy the marshmallows by themselves on Amazon. We whip up that cereal milk into a whipped cream frosting. By using whipped cream instead of choosing American buttercream or even a white chocolate ganache, we can ensure that the blondie is not TOO sweet. Lucky Charms Blondies with a cereal milk frosting might just be your new favorite treat
Ingredients
Blondies
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter 8 tablespoons melted and cooled
- 1 cup packed brown sugar 200 grams
- 1 eggs + 1 egg yolk room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour 125 grams
Cereal Milk Whipped Cream
- 2 cups heavy cream 429 grams
- 2 cups Lucky Charms cereal
- 1 cup confectioners sugar 120 grams (more as needed)
Instructions
Make The Blondies
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8X8 pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl combine melted butter and sugars. Mix with a nonstick spatula until combined. Add in eggs and mix again. In a separate smaller bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking powder. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until combined. Pour into the lined 8X8 pan. Place in oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges are browned and the center looks slightly underdone.
- Make the Frosting
- In a large bowl, pour the cereal and the heavy cream. Let cereal soak for at least 30 minutes longer the better!
- Using a sieve, strain the heavy cream from the cereal into a large bowl.
- Add confectioner’s sugar to the strained heavy cream and beat using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form
- Spread using an offset spatula onto cooled blondies
- Scatter marshmallows on top and cut into squares!

I’m so in love with this. You did a great job!!
Thank you for your articles. They are very helpful to me. May I ask you a question?
May I have information on the topic of your article?
I brought these into work and people were coming up to me to thank me like I had solved world peace or something lol. But i wanted to say that i actually had to make two batches of the bars because i had too much whipped cream, so the ingredients for that could probably be halved!
girl I made these today and brought them to work for some festive st. patty’s cheer, it was a hit! great blondie recipe and the cereal milk whipped cream really puts it over the top!! 🙂
