This Rice Krispy Ice Cream Pie (for lack of a better title) was something I saw in an issue of Real Simple magazine. It lived up to the magazine’s title and was really something easy to make. It took no time at all and was a perfect accompaniment to a spur-of-the-moment Big Lebowski viewing at our house.
All you need is:
8 oz. semi-sweet chocolate
4 cups Rice Krispy cereal (use the rest for Rice Krispy treats!)
Ice Cream- RealSimple used mint chocolate chip, but we saw a more appealing flavor in Kroger while we were shopping: Mayfield’s Moo-ionare Ice Cream. Coffee with mini hazelnut, chocolate, and vanilla (?) truffles. Winner.
Melt the chocolate in a large-ish bowl in the microwave or using a double-boiler on the stove. Stir in the rice krispies until all blended up. Press this mixture into a greased 9 inch springform pan, being careful to not get the mixture too thick around where the sides of the pan meet the bottom. If you don’t have a springform pan, I’m pretty sure you could line a regular cake pan with wax paper and it would work fine. Freeze this mixture until more solid and colder, then add the softened ice cream variety of your choice and freeze again!
After being overtaken by school this year, I decided to take this summer off to do what I wanted. My goal is to cook more- at least three new things a week. I'm going to document these and other adventures here...these are my experiences with cooking (AND with keeping up with a blog).
