Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 150g rice cereal
- 100g marshmallows
- 50g butter
- 100g strawberry frosting
- Sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by lightly greasing it with butter or cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt butter over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Once butter is completely melted, add marshmallows and stir continuously until they are fully melted and combined with the butter.
- Remove the marshmallow mixture from heat and quickly fold in the rice cereal, ensuring every piece is evenly coated. Mix gently but thoroughly to maintain the cereal's crispness.
- Transfer the marshmallow-cereal mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or buttered hands to press the mixture evenly and firmly into the pan, creating a smooth, compact layer.
- Allow the mixture to cool and set at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes until it becomes firm and holds its shape.
- Once cooled, spread the strawberry frosting evenly across the top of the cereal mixture, creating a smooth pink layer.
- Sprinkle decorative sprinkles over the frosted surface, gently pressing them into the frosting to ensure they adhere.
- Let the dessert set for an additional 10 minutes to allow the frosting to slightly firm up.
- Cut into 12 equal squares using a sharp knife, cleaning the blade between cuts for neat edges.
- Serve and enjoy your Strawberry Krispies with Pink Frosting at room temperature.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality marshmallows for the smoothest, most luxurious texture.
- When mixing cereal and marshmallow, work quickly but gently to maintain the crispiness.
- Butter your hands or use a spatula sprayed with cooking spray when pressing the mixture into the pan to prevent sticking.
- For the most even frosting, use an offset spatula or the back of a spoon to spread the strawberry frosting.
- Choose vibrant, colorful sprinkles to make your Krispies pop visually.
- Let the treats cool completely before cutting for the cleanest, most precise squares.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
