Step 1

Grease a 8x8 pan and set it inside a 13x9 baking pan. Preheat oven to 350.

Step 2

In a heat resistant bowl, microwave the milk until it reaches 180 degrees (took me about 5 minutes).

Step 3

Add cereal to the hot milk. Let soak while you work on the next step.

Step 4

Whisk together eggs, vanilla and cinnamon until fully combined. Add in sugar and whip until slightly frothy.

Step 5

Slowly add in the hot cereal/milk to the eggs while whisking constantly. Be super slow here. If you pour too fast you will cook the eggs.

Step 6

Pour custard into the small dish. Fill the larger pan with hot water about 3/4 of the way up. Bake for 30 minutes.

Step 7

Mix together all topping ingredients.

Step 8

At the 30 minute mark, add the topping evenly onto your custard. Let bake for another 20-25 minutes. When you can insert a knife into the center and it comes out clean, it’s done. Or when it reaches 175 degrees.

Step 9

Cool completely before serving.
