Tips and Tricks
Can I use other frozen fruits?
I haven’t tried it with other fruits, but frozen peaches will probably hold up the best when cooked in the cream of wheat.
If you decide to use other fruits like strawberries or raspberries, it will probably taste good. Just note that the fruits will be softer and will fall apart in the cream of wheat. Give it a try if you don’t mind mushier fruit and let me know how it works for you!
Can I use other types of milk?
Yes. You can use any type of milk. Depending on which milk you use you may have to increase your milk and decrease your water so your cream of wheat will be nice and creamy.
