Step 1
To make the bottom crumble crust, combine melted butter, and crushed Chocolate Chex Cereal (which is gluten-free as of the writing of this post.) Next, lightly butter a 2-quart baking dish. Pour the cereal mixture into the dish. Using the back of a spoon, pat the cereal until it evenly covers the entire bottom of the dish.
Step 2
Next, carefully spoon softened coffee ice cream over top of the cereal mixture. NOTE: (For a GF option be sure to use a gluten-free brand of ice cream.)
Step 3
Sprinkle more of the crushed cereal evenly over top of the ice cream. NOTE: Feel free to add additional toppings such as Heath Bits, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, mini chocolate chips, etc… (Be sure to use gluten-free toppings if you are making a gluten-free version!)
Step 4
Finally, freeze for 6 to 8 hours or overnight.
Serve
When ready to serve simply cut the Coffee Ice Cream Dessert into squares. This recipe yields approximately 9 servings, depending on the size of each serving. (Note: expect the bottom crust to be on the crumbly side.)
Garnish
I like to garnish each serving with whipped topping. A chocolate-covered espresso bean perched on top of the whipped topping would be a nice touch as well. (Note: again, be sure to use a gluten-free brand if you need this recipe to be GF.)
Although Coffee Ice Cream Dessert looks like a heavy dessert, it really isn’t. It is surprisingly light and delightfully refreshing.
