Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 (8 oz) bag Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 1/2 cups coconut whipped cream
- 3/4 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Topping
- 1 cup chocolate chips, melted
- 1/2 cup toasted coconut flakes
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all necessary ingredients to ensure a smooth preparation process.
- Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Krispies cereal, almond butter, honey, vanilla extract, and the coconut whipped cream. Stir gently until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated into a sticky, cohesive mixture.
- Press into Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish (around 8×8 inches) to prevent sticking, then press the cereal mixture evenly into the dish, forming a flat base layer.
- Add Toppings: Pour the melted chocolate chips evenly over the pressed cereal base, spreading to cover the surface. Immediately sprinkle the toasted coconut flakes on top of the melted chocolate before it sets.
- Freeze: Place the dish in the freezer for at least 1 hour or overnight to allow the treats to firm up and set properly.
- Cut and Serve: Once frozen, remove from freezer and cut into squares. Serve immediately for a chilled, refreshing treat.
Notes
- Use full-fat coconut whipped cream for best texture and flavor.
- Toast coconut flakes lightly in a dry pan over medium heat until golden and fragrant for enhanced flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain freshness and texture.
- Feel free to substitute almond butter with peanut butter if preferred.
- For a nut-free version, try sunflower seed butter and check cereal ingredients accordingly.
