Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 5.5 cups crispy rice cereal
- 10 ounces (283 grams) mini marshmallows
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) salted butter
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Decorative Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare a round silicone bundt pan by lightly coating the interior with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Gather crispy rice cereal in a large mixing bowl, ensuring all ingredients are measured and ready for combination.
- Select a heavy-bottomed pot and melt butter over gentle heat, stirring consistently to prevent burning.
- Gradually introduce mini marshmallows to the melted butter, continuously stirring until the mixture transforms into a smooth, glossy consistency.
- Enhance the flavor profile by incorporating sea salt and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to distribute the seasonings evenly.
- Pour crispy rice cereal into the marshmallow mixture, gently folding and turning to ensure complete and uniform coating of each cereal piece.
- For added visual appeal and flavor, delicately fold colorful sprinkles throughout the mixture, creating a festive appearance.
- Transfer the combined mixture into the prepared bundt pan, using a greased spatula or lightly buttered hands to press and compact the contents evenly.
- Allow the cake to set and solidify at ambient temperature for approximately one hour, permitting the marshmallow to create a stable binding.
- Carefully invert the bundt pan onto a decorative serving plate, gently releasing the cake and optionally embellishing with additional sprinkles for a playful finishing touch.
Notes
- Customize the cake by using different colored sprinkles for seasonal celebrations or themed parties.
- Select gluten-free crispy rice cereal to make this dessert suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
- Prevent sticking by thoroughly greasing your spatula or hands with cooking spray before pressing the mixture into the pan.
- Store the rice crispy cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain its fresh, crispy texture.
