Ingredients
Scale
Core Ingredients
- 2 cups cereal (e.g., Rice Krispies, Fruity Pebbles, or Cocoa Pebbles)
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream (or your favorite flavor)
Optional Toppings
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or sprinkles (optional, for extra decoration)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cereal: Pour 2 cups of your chosen cereal into a shallow bowl or plate to create a base for the ice cream sandwiches.
- Scoop and Shape the Ice Cream: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of ice cream for each sandwich. Slightly flatten each scoop into a round shape using a cookie cutter or the back of a spoon to ensure uniform sizes.
- Make Ice Cream Rounds: Repeat the scooping and shaping process to prepare as many ice cream rounds as you desire for the number of sandwiches you want to create.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Press one flattened ice cream round into the cereal to coat one side, then sandwich it with another cereal piece or similarly coated ice cream round, depending on your preference.
- Add Toppings (Optional): If desired, sprinkle mini chocolate chips or sprinkles onto the ice cream sides before fully assembling to add color and extra flavor.
- Freeze the Sandwiches: Place the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet or tray lined with parchment paper. Freeze them for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once firm, remove from the freezer and enjoy your homemade cereal ice cream sandwiches fresh for a crunchy and creamy dessert experience.
Notes
- Use your favorite cereal variety to customize the flavor and texture.
- For easier shaping, let the ice cream soften slightly before forming rounds.
- Freeze the sandwiches completely before serving to prevent melting.
- These sandwiches are best consumed within a day or two for optimal freshness.
- Try adding different toppings like crushed nuts or shredded coconut for additional flavor.
