From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...This dessert is the adult version of an ice cream cake that I make often for my grandchildren. It is really easy to assemble and it is surprising good for something that requires so little effort. The original version of the cake came from Real Simple magazine and it can be seen here. If you glance through their recipe, you can see that this is an easy recipe to make your own. The flavor combinations are limited only by the imagination of the cook and the cake is a lovely finish to an informal summer meal. The Silver Fox and I like the butterscotch version but our little guys were really fond of a peanut butter and chocolate combination that I made for them. I hope you'll give this a try with favorite flavors of your own. Here are the directions for my favorite version of the cake.
Crispy Butter Pecan Ice Cream Cake...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite inspired by Real Simple Magazine
Ingredients:
8 ounces butterscotch chips, melted
4 cups crisped rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies)
2 pints butter pecan ice cream, slightly softened
2 cups whipped topping
Directions:
1) Combine melted butterscotch chips and cereal in a large bowl. Toss until cereal is completely coated. Set aside 1 cup of mixture for later use. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray. Lightly press 3 cups of coated cereal into bottom of pan. Do not pack. Freeze just until firm, about 10 minutes.
2) Spread ice cream in prepared crust and freeze, covered, until firm, for at least 2 hours and up to 3 day. Just before serving, spread top of cake with whipped topping and sprinkle with reserved
coated cereal. Yield: 8 servings.

Nice idea! Thanks.
This looks yummy, I loooove butter pecan ice cream, and the crust is one that seems like it could be reused for other kid-friendly pies. I've gotten some great ideas from Real Simple, too!
I have been craving butter pecan ice cream! This sounds like a wonderful way to end a summer meal.

This is a great dessert! Clever use of the chips and cereal! I was thinking that our kids in the Sunday school program could make pies like yours for our summer potluck barbeque! Everyone will love them (the kids AND the pies!). Thanks Mary!

I always forget how wonderful the butterscotch flavor is. I need to plan an "event" in my home (read: lots of people) so I can make this.
Oh my word! This is fantastic. I think I may have to ask my friend to make me this cake for my birthday! YUM!
This is the kind of ice cream cake I grew up with - all ice cream.

I really really love your blog too. So many ideas to bring home to my kitchn! I also love that you link to your a year ago recipe and years ago. I will check out the twice baked potato fosho.
Ice cream cake is so delicious, but definitely more difficult to make than regular cake. Great flavor combo. I think I'd really enjoy the butterscotch cake as well. :)
Oh, this looks fabulous! I love ice cream pies and cakes...especially this hot, hot summer! Thanks for sharing this winner~
My teenagers are going to love this recipe- creamy, crunchy. Yum.

I've never made my own ice cream cake before but butter pecan sounds like a lovely way to start!
This recipe looks delicious! We've never made an ice cream cake before, but you make it look so easy. We'll have to try it!
This looks wonderful! I love every ingredient in this dessert and it sounds perfect for this time of year. Yum!!
So seriously craving this right now!
Butterscotch is totally my undoing. I'm horrible about sitting on the couch and eating the chips...
This is a good way to preempt me from chip munching :)
If the lime milk shake doesn't do me in, this sure will!
If you haven't already, I hope you post the peanut butter chocolate version. I am with with grandchildren on that one!
Ice cream in a cereal crust..that sounds just marvelous!
