This is a great dessert for kids and adults. It mimics the deep-fried ice cream found on most Mexican restaurants dessert menus. But there is no frying! Yea!
I love the combination of the cold, vanilla ice cream with the crunch of the rice krispies and nuts, with the strawberries and whipped cream--really, what's not to love?
Whether you are having a party or a family dinner it helps to make at least one item the day before. This can be made and then stashed in the freezer until needed.
You could also drizzle a little honey on top for one more layer of flavor.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup melted butter
2 1/2 cup Rice Krispies
1 cup chopped pecans
1 1/2 cups coconut
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream (rectangular carton works best)
Toppings include: strawberries, whipped cream, honey
Combine all ingredients except ice cream. Press 1/2 of mixture into 9 x 13 inch pan. Put vanilla ice cream on top. Cut into 1/2 inch slices if from square carton, scoop if from round carton. Press rest of crumb mixture on top. Cover and freeze for 12 hours. Top with strawberries or other berries.
