"[Photograph: Alexandra Penfold] Making Grape-Nuts Ice Cream at home is as simple as can be. I favor a rich, custardy base because it's most similar to the Grape-Nuts ice cream I remember having as a kid while on summer vacations to Maine. Feel free to substitute your favorite vanilla ice cream recipe and prepare according to the manufacturer's instructions, just be sure to add the 1 cup of Grape-Nuts in the last 5 minutes of churning.
