1

Prepare the Rice Krispie Treats

In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Add 4 cups of mini marshmallows and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth. Immediately pour in 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal and stir until well coated.

2

Create the Ice Cream Base

In a separate mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of heavy cream, 1 cup of whole milk, 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is well blended.

3

Mix Rice Krispie Treats into Ice Cream Base

Crumble the prepared Rice Krispie Treats into small pieces and add them to the ice cream base. Gently fold the mixture together until the Rice Krispie Treats are evenly distributed throughout.

4

Chill the Mixture

Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld together and the mixture to become thoroughly chilled.

5

Freeze the Ice Cream

Pour the chilled ice cream mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically for about 20-25 minutes. The ice cream should reach a soft-serve consistency.

6

Add Optional Mix-Ins

If desired, add in any mix-ins such as chocolate chips, crushed cookies, or additional Rice Krispie Treat pieces during the last few minutes of churning. This step adds extra texture and flavor to your ice cream.

7

Transfer and Freeze

Transfer the freshly churned ice cream into a lidded container. Cover the surface of the ice cream with plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the ice cream is firm and scoopable.

8

Serve and Enjoy!

Scoop the Rice Krispie Treats ice cream into bowls or cones, and savor the delightful combination of crispy and creamy goodness. Feel free to top with extra Rice Krispie Treat pieces or other desired toppings. Enjoy!
