Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.25 cups sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Grease a 9-inch springform pan or standard cake pan with butter or non-stick spray, and set aside.
In a large pot over low heat, melt the unsalted butter completely. Stir in the mini marshmallows and continue to mix until they are fully melted and smooth. Remove the pot from heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract.
Working quickly, add the Rice Krispies cereal to the marshmallow mixture, and stir until all the cereal is evenly coated.
Transfer the cereal mixture into the prepared pan. Using a spatula or your hands (lightly greased to prevent sticking), press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan. Set aside to cool for at least 10 minutes.
While the base is cooling, make the chocolate ganache. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Remove from heat.
Pour the chocolate ganache over the Rice Krispies base, spreading it evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
If desired, sprinkle the top with colorful sprinkles for a fun, festive look.
Let the cake set at room temperature for 1-2 hours, or refrigerate for 30-40 minutes to speed up the process.
Gently remove the cake from the pan (if using a springform pan) or cut directly from the pan. Slice into wedges or squares to serve.
Enjoy your 'Oh So Good Rice Krispies Cake'!
