Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 5 cups rice cereal
- 2 cups strawberry ice cream
- 4 cups miniature marshmallows
Binding Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) unsalted butter
Garnish:
- 1/4 cup chopped freeze-dried strawberries
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring a flat surface for assembling the ice cream sandwiches.
- Soften the ice cream at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to make it easier to spread.
- Arrange cereal in a single layer, creating a rectangular base approximately the same size as your desired sandwich shape.
- Carefully spread softened ice cream evenly across the cereal layer, maintaining a consistent thickness of about 1/2 inch.
- Gently press a second layer of cereal on top of the ice cream, creating a complete sandwich structure.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the large sandwich into individual rectangular portions.
- Place the cut sandwiches on the prepared baking sheet and immediately transfer to the freezer.
- Freeze the sandwiches for 15-20 minutes to allow them to set and become firm.
- For optimal texture and easier handling, keep sandwiches stored in the freezer until ready to serve.
- Optional: Let sandwiches sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before consuming to soften slightly and enhance flavor.
Notes
- Boost flavor by mixing cereals like Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Puffs for a colorful, multi-textured treat.
- Soften ice cream slightly before spreading to ensure smooth, even coverage between cereal layers.
- Create dairy-free versions by using coconut or almond milk-based ice cream alternatives for allergy-friendly options.
- Wrap individual sandwiches in parchment paper for easy storage and clean freezer organization.
