Description
A delightful dessert combining the flavors of peanut butter, jelly, and ice cream, all held together by crunchy puffed cereal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups puffed cereal (Rice Krispies or Corn Pops)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 1/2 cup jelly or jam (strawberry, grape, or your choice)
- 2 cups ice cream (vanilla or your choice)
- Optional toppings: chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or sprinkles
Instructions
- Melt the peanut butter slightly to make it easier to spread without overheating.
- In a large bowl, mix the puffed cereal with just enough melted peanut butter to coat the cereal.
- On a parchment-lined baking sheet, press the mixture into circular shapes (about 1/4 inch thick) and freeze for 15-20 minutes.
- Spread a layer of jelly on one frozen cereal piece, add a scoop of ice cream, and top with another cereal piece to form a sandwich.
- Roll the edges in optional toppings, then return to the freezer for another 15-20 minutes.
- For better enjoyment, allow them to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
For nut-free options, substitute peanut butter with almond, sunflower, or soy butter. You can also use crushed cookies instead of puffed cereal for a richer treat.
