4. Add the cornstarch mixture to the pan and bring to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly.

5. Whisk the mixture until smooth, and simmer the mixture over very low heat, stirring constantly , for 2 minutes or until thickened.

6. If mixture is lumpy, strain it through a sieve.

7. Transfer the hot liquid to a storage container and press a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming.

8. Refrigerate the mixture uncovered until it is completely chilled (below 40°).

9. Freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

10. Transfer the ice cream to a chilled mixing bowl, and fold in the cereal.
