Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cups marshmallows
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 quart vanilla ice cream
- 1 as needed nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly spray it with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the marshmallows and stir continuously until fully melted and smooth.
Remove the pot from heat and quickly stir in the crispy rice cereal until evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Lightly spray your hands with nonstick cooking spray and press the mixture into an even layer in the dish. Let it cool completely, about 15 minutes.
Once cooled, lift the Rice Krispies layer out of the pan using the parchment paper. Use a round cookie cutter (approximately 3 inches in diameter) to cut out circles. You should be able to cut about 16 circles, yielding 8 sandwiches.
Take the ice cream out of the freezer and let it soften slightly for about 5 minutes. Using the same cookie cutter, cut out circles of ice cream to fit between the Rice Krispies rounds. If the ice cream is too hard to cut, scoop and shape it to fit.
Place one ice cream circle between two Rice Krispies circles, gently pressing them together to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap or parchment paper and place them in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Serve chilled and enjoy your homemade Rice Krispies Ice Cream Sandwiches!
