There is something so nostalgic about biting into a chewy Rice Krispies treat. When you add a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the middle, it turns into an incredible dessert that feels like a party in your hand. My grandkids ask for these every single time they visit during the summer months.

My best tip is to work quickly when assembling these. If the ice cream starts to melt too much, just pop the whole tray into the freezer for ten minutes before you finish pressing the tops down. It keeps everything neat and easy to hold.

🧺 Ingredients

4 tablespoons butter
10 ounces mini marshmallows
6 cups crispy rice cereal
1 quart vanilla ice cream, slightly softened

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Line a 9 by 13 inch baking pan with parchment paper so it hangs over the sides.
2
Melt the butter in a large pot over low heat, then stir in the marshmallows until they are completely smooth.
3
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the crispy rice cereal until well coated.
4
Press half of the mixture firmly into the prepared pan, then spread the softened ice cream evenly over the top.
5
Press the remaining cereal mixture onto a piece of parchment paper until it is the same size as your pan, then place it carefully on top of the ice cream layer.
6
Freeze the pan for at least two hours until firm.
7
Lift the treats out using the parchment paper handles and cut them into squares before serving.

💡 Tips

Store these wrapped individually in plastic wrap in the freezer so they stay fresh. You can also roll the edges of the ice cream in colorful sprinkles before serving for a fun look.
