Description
Rice Krispie Ice Cream is a delightful twist on a classic childhood treat, combining the crispy, chewy texture of Rice Krispie treats with the creamy smoothness of vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
Rice Krispies cereal: 3 cups
Marshmallows: 1 bag (10 oz)
Vanilla ice cream: 1 quart
Butter: 3 tablespoons
Optional: Chocolate chips: 1/2 cup
Optional: Chopped nuts: 1/2 cup (almonds or pecans work well)
Optional: Caramel sauce: 1/4 cup
Optional: Sea salt: a pinch
Instructions
1. Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until melted and blended with butter.
2. Remove from heat and fold in Rice Krispies cereal until coated. Spread mixture into a greased baking dish and let cool.
3. Soften vanilla ice cream slightly. In a large bowl, combine softened ice cream with optional add-ons.
4. Break cooled Rice Krispie base into pieces and fold into ice cream mixture. Transfer to a freezer-safe container.
5. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Notes
Keep the heat low to prevent marshmallows from burning.
Grease your spatula or hands to prevent sticking when spreading the mixture.
Let the ice cream sit out for about 10 minutes to soften before mixing.
Ensure Rice Krispie pieces are spread throughout for consistent texture.
Store in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn.
