While the official products are fantastic, the concept of Rice Krispies ice cream also opens up a world of possibilities for homemade creations. For those who love to get creative in the kitchen, or simply want to customize their frozen treats, making your own Rice Krispies ice cream desserts is a rewarding experience.The Classic Rice Krispie Ice Cream Sandwich (Homemade)
Making your own Rice Krispie ice cream sandwiches allows for endless customization. You can choose your favorite flavor of ice cream and sandwich it between two gooey Rice Krispie treats made just how you like them. **Ingredients for Rice Krispie Treat layers:** * **Butter:** You can use salted or unsalted based upon personal preference. * **Mini marshmallows:** Mini marshmallows melt faster and create a smoother base. * **Rice Krispie Treat Cereal:** Any brand of puffed rice cereal will work. **Basic Steps:** 1. **Prepare the Rice Krispie mixture:** Mix butter, corn syrup (if using for extra chewiness), and brown sugar together in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in rice cereal. For a richer flavor, you can also include pecans and coconut, drizzling butter over the mixture and combining well. 2. **Layering:** Line a 13- x 9-inch freezer-safe pan with heavy duty foil, overlapping by a couple of inches on either side. Coat the foil with nonstick cooking spray. Spread about half of the Rice Krispies mixture evenly on the bottom of the greased pan. 3. **Add Ice Cream:** Carefully spread or slice softened ice cream over the top of the Rice Krispie layer until evenly distributed. The biggest challenge when making Rice Krispies ice cream dessert is timing – letting your ice cream get too soft will result in a soupy mess, while working with it too frozen makes it difficult to spread. Aim for a soft-serve consistency. 4. **Top Layer:** Sprinkle with the remaining crumbs or press the other half of the Rice Krispie mixture evenly over the ice cream. 5. **Freeze:** Press down gently and freeze until firm. **Storage:** To store copycat Rice Krispie ice cream sandwiches, individually wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap, then store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.Creative Twists: Pints, Pies, and Cones
Beyond the classic sandwich, the versatility of Rice Krispies allows for other exciting frozen desserts: * **Rice Krispie Treat Ice Cream Pints (Custard-based):** For the truly ambitious, you can create your own Rice Krispie Treat ice cream from scratch. My version of Rice Krispie Treat ice cream blends a buttery custard-based ice cream, inspired in equal parts by Shake Shack’s original vanilla custard and Ample Hills’. You can infuse the custard with toasted Rice Krispies or fold in crushed Rice Krispie Treats after churning. * **Ice Cream Pie with Rice Krispie Crust:** A super easy and crowd-pleasing dessert, ice cream pie with rice krispie crust is light, takes minutes to make, and is a perfect treat for entertaining guests or celebrating. You can press a little more than half of the Rice Krispie mixture into the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish (or a 9x13 for a larger pie) to form the crust, then fill with your favorite ice cream, and top with more Rice Krispie crumbs or other toppings. * **Rice Krispie Ice Cream Cones:** For a fun, handheld treat, you can line ice cream cones with a thin layer of Rice Krispie treat mixture before filling them with ice cream. I highly suggest cutting a template into a tin pan, or getting a simple ice cream cone rack (hello, $6!) to place each ice cream cone in after filling to keep them upright while they set.Elevating Your Rice Krispies Ice Cream Experience
Whether you opt for the convenience of store-bought or the satisfaction of homemade, there are ways to make your Rice Krispies ice cream experience even better. While it's already quite sweet and delightful on its own, if you're so inclined, drizzle with a little of your favorite ice-cream topping. Butterscotch, caramel, or hot fudge all work wonderfully to add another layer of indulgence. This new ice cream is truly a brand-new ice cream on the block, perfect for anyone who loves a playful, nostalgic treat. Some might even say it's perfect for breakfast lovers – though we'd recommend saving this particular delight for a dessert or a special, indulgent snack!A Sweet Conclusion
