Key Lime Pie Rice Krispie Treats
1. Prepare the Key Lime Filling:
1. **Mix Ingredients:**
– In a medium bowl, whisk together the key lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, sour cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
2. **Chill:**
– Refrigerate the mixture while you prepare the Rice Krispie treats to allow it to firm up slightly.
2. Prepare the Rice Krispie Treats:
1. **Melt Butter:**
– In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it is completely melted and slightly bubbly.
2. **Add Marshmallows:**
– Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir continuously until the marshmallows are fully melted and smooth.
3. **Mix with Cereal:**
– Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
4. **Press into Pan:**
– Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Press the Rice Krispie mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
3. Assemble the Key Lime Pie Rice Krispie Treats:
1. **Spread Filling:**
– Once the Rice Krispie base has cooled slightly but is still warm, spread the chilled key lime filling evenly over the top of the Rice Krispie layer.
2. **Prepare the Crust Topping:**
– In a small bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until combined. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the key lime filling.
3. **Chill:**
– Refrigerate the assembled bars for at least 2 hours, or until the key lime filling is set.
4. Serve:
1. **Cut and Garnish:**
– Once set, lift the treats out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut into squares.
– Optionally, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
