Fried Ice Cream Dessert

Submitted by Julie Twitchell

I made this last night for a family party. Well actually, I made this and the Raspberry Ice Cream Dessert. Everyone loved both. This is way easier and healthier(no frying) than fried ice cream:)

• 1 1/2 sticks of butter
• 1 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 4 cup Rice Krispies
• 1 Cup chopped nuts(optional)
• 1 1/2 Cup coconut
• 1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream
• 3/4 Cup caramel ice cream topping
• 1 1/2 cup chocolate chips(I did milk and white chocolate chips--mini would be better)

1. In a large saucepan, cook butter and brown sugar until it boils; remove from heat.



2. Combine Rice Krispies, nuts and coconuts; add to heated mixture.



3. In a 9 x 13 pan, pat one half of mixture in the bottom of the pan. Let it cool. Spread softened ice cream on top of the crust. Pat remaining half of Rice Krispies mixture on top of ice cream. Pour caramel topping over the top crust and then sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Cover and freeze until firm.



4. Take out of freezer 5-10 minutes before serving for easier cutting.
