Ingredients
4Mini bags of your favorite breakfast cereal I used: Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Lucky Charms, Trix and Cocoa Puffs
1 GallonVanilla Bean Ice CreamSubstitute with any flavor you like
¼CupShortening Such as Crisco
½BagWhite Chocolate Chips
Instructions
Place gallon of ice cream in the fridge so it softens. You do not want to melt it but you'll need it soft so you can stir it into the cereal
Empty each individual bag of cereal into it's own small bow
In a separate bowl, combine the shortening and white chocolate chips. Melt in the microwave for about one minute. Stir so that you have a nice melted white chocolate mixture
Pour ½ of the chocolate mixture into each of the cereal bowl and then stir to mix white chocolate and coat the cereal
Pour out each of the cereal mixtures into a pile on parchment paper and sort of flatten it out so it can harden slightly
Once the cereal is slightly hardened, put each one back into it's bowl and add a ¼ of the carton of ice cream to each bowl
Mix well so that the cereal is well combined throughout the ice cream
Fill a 4" mini spring form pan with the ice cream and cereal mixture. Work fast so that your ice cream doesn't begin to melt and drip through the bottom of the pan
Place each mini cake into the freezer for at least 4 hours to harden
Once ready to serve, dip a butter knife into warm water and "cut" around the cake to release it from the side of the pan. Then, remove the springform pan and place the cake onto a plate
Notes
You can reserve a small portion of each cereal to "top" the cakes with right before you place them in the freezer. This will give it a little cute factor.
