Colorful, fruity cereal meets the smooth and dreamy world of ice cream in this Fruity Pebbles Ice Cream. Every scoop is loaded with the iconic rainbow crunch of a Saturday morning spent watching cartoons.
Fruity Pebbles Ice Cream
I made this ice cream a couple of different times in an attempt to get both the flavor and the texture I wanted. Let me just admit that the first attempt barely hit the “edible” mark.
I’m happy to tell you that the final version of this recipe is a solid two-thumbs-up! It is bright and flavorful ice cream with hints of fruity pebbles flavor in the creamy refreshing ice cream.
If you have a cereal lover in your life, this is for them. The main flavors of Fruity Pebbles cereal are lemon, orange, and cherry. The lemon juice in this recipe works nicely with those flavors.
It serves to brighten them while also cutting the sweetness of this cereal milk ice cream. If you prefer it without the added lemon flavor, this fruity pebbles ice cream recipe will turn out just fine without it.

The most popular question I get is whether it’s possible to make ice cream without a machine. The answer is YES. You can make ice cream without a machine. Find the full directions here!
To start, add the cereal and the milk to a bowl and let it sit for 30 minutes. Then, place a fine mesh strainer over a large mixing bowl and pour the cereal mixture through it into the bowl. Discard the soggy cereal from the strainer.
Add the cream, lemon juice, sugar, vanilla, and salt to the cereal milk. Whisk to combine and then pour into the ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Serve immediately for soft serve ice cream or transfer the mix to an airtight container and store in the freezer for several hours or until ready to serve. Top each serving with a handful of Fruity Pebbles when serving for extra crunch.

These are my favorite inexpensive containers for storing ice cream. They’re perfect for gifting (who doesn’t love homemade ice cream?) storage, re-using, etc. I write the flavors on the lids with a sharpie and it washes off with dish soap.
I have more ice cream scoops than I can keep track of at this point and I definitely play favorites. This ice cream scoop does the best job ever of cutting through firm ice cream and still delivers a pretty scoop. It gets bonus points for being one of the least expensive scoops I own as well.
