Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, cubed
  • 2 cups crushed cornflakes
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1-3/4 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Optional: Honey, whipped cream and maraschino cherries

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add cornflakes and cinnamon; cook and stir until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in sugar. Cool completely.
  2. In a large bowl, beat cream, evaporated milk and salt until the mixture begins to thicken. Gradually beat in condensed milk and vanilla until thickened.
  3. Sprinkle half the cornflakes onto bottom of a greased 9-in. square baking pan. Pour creamy filling over crust; sprinkle with remaining cornflakes. Cover and freeze overnight. Cut into bars. If desired, serve with honey, whipped cream and cherries.
