Today, my boo Allie from Baking A Moment is here to share with you this chocolate marshmallow rice krispie treat ice cream (just WHOA!!). Allie is my dessert twin and kindred spirit. We hit it off years ago when we both started blogging and she has been an invaluable friend (both online and offline). I don’t know how I can ever thank her for always being there for me especially as I started this journey of motherhood. Maybe the next time we are together I could bring this ice cream?

Helloooo, Blahnik Baker readers! It’s Allie here, from Baking a Moment! I am so happy to be chatting with you today. As I’m sure you already know, our friend Zainab has a brand-new little bundle of joy and he needs lots of cuddles, so while she is busy with that we are going to talk ice cream.

Specifically, this knock-you-dead Chocolate Marshmallow Rice Krispie Treat Ice Cream. I’m not even kidding. I’m totally dead right now. This ice cream murdered me.

As a dessert blogger, I make all kinds of recipes. And most of the time I’m not making them with myself in mind. I’m trying to please a lot of people. Husbands, kids, moms and grammies who want to utilize whatever is in their pantry or fruit bowl… but this- this one was for me.

When it comes to ice cream, there are two roads I typically go down. If I find myself standing in front of that big board with all the yummy options, I look for a) something with crunchy bits in it, or b) chocolate marshmallow. I LOVE chocolate marshmallow, especially if it’s on a cake/wafer cone. I can never say no to it, especially if it’s the kind with the gooey marshmallow sauce, rather than those sponge-y little mini marshmallows.

But a chocolate marshmallow ice cream that also has crunchy bits in it??? Oh heck yes.

I’ve played around a bit with no-churn ice creams this summer and they are super-simple and really tasty, but for this recipe it had to be the real deal. I’m sorry, but nothing can beat the richness you get with an authentic frozen custard, made with fresh eggs and cream. And the deep, rich chocolate flavor in this ice cream is sooo decadent! There are two kinds of cocoa here, plus melted chocolate, and it is seriously the bomb.

I used this ice cream maker attachment and I could not believe how fast it was. I’m not kidding- FIVE minutes and it was done.

Chocolate Marshmallow Rice Krispie Treat Ice Cream

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup milk (I used 1%)
• 4 large egg yolks
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons dark cocoa powder
• a pinch of kosher salt
• 2 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, cold
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• approx. 6 ounces Homemade Marshmallow Sauce
• about 1 cup Rice Krispie Treat cereal

Instructions

1. Pour the milk into a small pot and place over medium heat. Warm and do not let it boil.
2. Whisk the egg yolks, sugar, cocoas, and salt together in a medium bowl. When the milk is hot and steamy, and there are small bubbles forming around the edges, slowly dribble it into the egg mixture, while whisking, to warm the yolks. When all the milk has been added, transfer the mixture back to the pot, add the melted chocolate, and continue to cook, over low heat, until the mixture has thickened slightly.
3. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve, into a heat-safe bowl. Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Cover, and refrigerate overnight.
4. Churn the ice cream in a chilled ice cream maker, following your manufacturer's instructions.
5. Spread about a quarter of the chocolate ice cream in the bottom of a loaf pan. Drizzle with 2 ounces of Marshmallow Sauce, then top with 1/3 cup Rice Krispie Treats cereal.
6. Repeat, until all the components have been utilized and the loaf pan is full.
7. Cover the surface with plastic wrap and freeze solid.

We have another epic ice cream recipe today friends. This one is even better than the Pina Colada ice cream I shared a few weeks ago. Yes I said it … this roasted strawberry and lavender ice cream is better than my good ole coconut lover. Why? Well because this one is richer, creamier and built with layers of flavors.

Starting with slowly roasting some fresh juicy strawberries I picked up at Aldi, this custard based ice cream is also bursting with lavender infused heavy cream and milk mixture. Steeping the lavender in the milk mixture for at least an hour and slowly heating up the mixture to make the custard base is the key to integrated lavender in the rich custard that is the base of this ice cream.

It’s all just layers of flavors and I think you will love this one. I made this ice cream this weekend as a treat for the hubs. I pestered him all weekend to get some big projects done around the house. You know the kind that involves cleaning out the garage, basement and painting, all hard work that needed him to do. The least I could do after all his sweating tasks was hand him a few scoops of this homemade ice cream. It’s creamy, delicious strawberry goodness did not last in our freezer after that and all the projects got done :0

Yield: ~ 5 cups

Roasted Strawberry and Lavender Ice Cream

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 25 minutes

Total Time 45 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 pound strawberries, hulled and halved
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• zest of ½ a lemon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups whole milk
• 1 ½ cups heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon dried lavender flowers
• 1 vanilla bean, cut in half or two tablespoons vanilla bean paste
• 2 large eggs
• 3 large egg yolks
• ¾ cup granulated sugar

Instructions

In a medium bowl, toss together the strawberries with sugar, lemon zest and vanilla extract. Let sit for 15 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Transfer strawberries to a baking dish or sheet and bake for 25 – 30mins, until strawberries are soft.

Transfer 2/3 of the roasted strawberries and juices to a blender or food processor. Reserve the rest to fold into the ice cream later. Process until a thick paste forms. Transfer to a bowl and chill.

In a medium bowl, combine the milk, heavy cream and dried lavender. Let steep for at least an hour or overnight in the refrigerator. Transfer the mixture to a medium saucepan. Split the vanilla bean and scrape out the seeds. Stir the seeds into the milk mixture. Over medium heat, bring the milk/cream mixture to a slow boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not let boil over.

In a large bowl, combine the eggs, yolks and sugar together. Using a mixer, beat the eggs until the mixture is thick, smooth and pale yellow in color, about 2 minutes on medium speed.

Remove the vanilla bean pod from the milk mixture and pour out a cup of the hot milk/cream mixture. Reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly add the hot milk to the egg mixture. Be sure not to scramble your eggs, so add the milk in a slow steady stream while mixing the mixture on low speed. Mix until combined. Then pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk/cream mixture and stir to combine. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium low heat until the mixture is thick enough to cover the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and pass through a fine sieve into a bowl. Cover with a plastic wrap touching the top of the custard. Chill completely.

When chilled, turn on your ice cream maker. Whisk together the strawberry puree and chilled custard to combine. Pour the mixture into the bowl and churn according to your manufacturer’s instruction..

Transfer ice cream to a freezer safe bowl. fold in the rest of the reserved roasted strawberry at this time. Freeze for about 3 hours or overnight. When ready to serve, let ice cream sit out for 10 minutes at room temperature to soften. Scoop and serve with reserved roasted strawberries.
