As any member of my family can attest, I love ice cream.
Like, really luuuuuvvvve it. (My husband, like, hates it when the kids say that. Like, know what I mean?)
Any day, any season, no matter the weather.
Y’all may be drinking coffee and eating candy canes but I guarantee I’m eating ice cream!
I truly believe if I could give up my nightly ice cream snack I would lose weight.
Alas, I haven’t figured out a way to expunge it from my diet and you won’t either after you see how easy this treat is.
When I saw this beautiful ice cream cake I knew my hubby would love it since he’s a huge fan of rice krispies treats.
This is a terrific recipe with easy ingredients to keep on hand.
The printable recipe is included below but here are a few tips:
- Allow ice cream and whipped topping to soften. Use a bit of oil to grease the bottom of the springform pan (or you could even use a 9×13 dish).
- Melt chocolate on low heat in short intervals to keep from burning.
- Mix the chocolate and cereal together completely.
- Put a little bit of oil on your fingers to help press the crust down firmly in place.
Huge selling point for this recipe? You can customize it to your own personal tastes.
Have a kid who loves chocolate ice cream? Give them their favorite and decorate the cake with mini chocolate chips.
Does your spouse only like peppermint ice cream? Buy an extra gallon at Christmas and crumble peppermint candies on the top.
Use colored candy melts from a craft store and color the rice krispies to match each holiday.
The possibilities are endless!
