Ingredients

• 3 cups Rice cereal
• 1 cup Shredded sweetened coconut
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup Light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 14-ounce can Sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Coconut cream
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Spread the rice cereal and shredded coconut on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fragrant. Remove and let cool.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and stir in the brown sugar. Cook until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is bubbling, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour this mixture over the toasted rice cereal and coconut, stirring until everything is coated evenly.

Step 5

Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal later. Press the rice cereal mixture evenly into the dish to create a crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the ice cream layer.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, coconut cream, and salt. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the mixture until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

Pour the whipped coconut mixture over the chilled cereal crust and spread evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Cover the dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until set.

Step 9

To serve, lift the bars out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 12 even squares or rectangles.

Step 10

Enjoy immediately or store any leftover bars in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
