Cereal-Encrusted Pies

This Easy Ice Cream Pie Features a Rice Krispies Crust

The Foodie Crush blog has put together a recipe for an easy ice cream pie that features a delicious puffed cereal crust. While pies are a delicious summer treat, it can be time-consuming to make the perfect crust. This recipe features a simple homemade base that is made from rice cereal, Karo syrup and peanut butter.

To begin the recipe, you will need to assemble the cereal-based crust. Puffed cereal makes an excellent alternative to traditional pie crust because it can be made gluten-free. The peanut butter can also be substituted for almond butter if you need to accommodate the recipe for those with peanut allergies. Once the crust is assembled, simply fill the pie with your favorite store-bought or homemade ice cream. You can even add extra toppings like fresh fruit or chocolate syrup for an extra hint of flavor.

The versatility and convenience of this easy ice cream pie makes it the perfect dessert for last-minute summer gatherings.
