Fruity Pebbles Confetti Ice Cream Squares

We eat ice cream almost every day in our home; we do live on a dairy after all! These Fruity Pebble Confetti Ice Cream Squares were a huge hit with my ice cream loving family! In fact, I think it’s my new favorite way to serve ice cream, no last minute ice cream scooper involved!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 c. unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 c. sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 c. flour
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp. cornstarch
  • 1 c. Fruity Pebbles cereal divided (I used more)
  • 2 c. light ice vanilla ice cream I didn't use light and I used more :

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8 inch square baking pan with non stick aluminum foil, making sure to leave enough overhang on the sides. Set aside.
  • In a stand mixer, beat butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, egg yolk, and vanilla. Scrape down sides as needed.
  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cornstarch. With mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture to wet ingredients and beat until combined. Gently fold in 1/2 cup of the Fruity Pebbles cereal using a rubber spatula.
  • Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until very lightly browned on top. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Spread softened ice cream evenly over cookie base in the baking pan, remember I used more ice cream than 2 cups. Top with remaining 1/2 cup of cereal (this is where I used more cereal). Lightly press cereal into ice cream. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until set, at least 2 hours.
  • When ready to serve, lift foil out of pan and cut into 16 2-inch squares.
