Dreamy Pb&J Puffed Cereal Ice Cream Sandwiches Recipe
- Total Time: 4 hours 20 minutes
- Yield: 13 1x
Description
Nostalgic pb&j puffed cereal ice cream sandwiches blend childhood memories with gourmet creativity. Creamy peanut butter ice cream nestles between crispy cereal cookies, delivering a playful twist on classic comfort.
Ingredients
- 1 pint (473 ml) vanilla ice cream, softened slightly
- 4 cups (946 ml) puffed rice cereal
- ½ cup (128 g) creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup (170 g) honey or light corn syrup
- ⅓ cup (106 g) strawberry or grape jelly
- 2 tbsps (28 g) unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preparation: Line a 9-inch square baking pan completely with parchment paper, creating an overhang for easy extraction.
- Base Mixture: Melt peanut butter, honey, and butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until smooth and integrated. Remove from heat and fold puffed rice cereal into the liquid, ensuring thorough coating.
- First Layer Formation: Press half of the cereal mixture into the prepared pan, creating a compact, even base. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to stabilize the foundation.
- Ice Cream Layering: Spread softened ice cream evenly across the chilled cereal base, guaranteeing full coverage and a smooth surface.
- Final Assembly: Top the ice cream with remaining cereal mixture, gently pressing to create a uniform seal. Freeze the entire dessert for 2-3 hours until completely set and firm.
- Serving: Remove from freezer, lift from pan using parchment edges, and slice into individual sandwiches for a delightful frozen treat.
Notes
- Cereal Coating Technique: Work quickly when mixing cereal with peanut butter mixture to prevent clumping and ensure each piece gets evenly coated.
- Temperature Control: Allow ice cream to soften just enough to spread smoothly without becoming too liquid, which can compromise the sandwich’s structure.
- Pressing Pressure: Use gentle but firm pressure when layering to create compact, stable layers without crushing the delicate puffed cereal.
- Storage Strategy: Wrap individual sandwiches in plastic wrap or parchment paper after cutting to prevent freezer burn and maintain optimal texture.
