Description
A no-bake dessert featuring a crispy puffed rice base, silky vanilla cream filling, and a glossy chocolate topping. Perfectly layered, light, and irresistibly creamy — ideal for gatherings or a refreshing sweet treat.
Ingredients
- For the base:
- 120 g puffed rice (Rice Krispies or similar)
- 100 g white chocolate
- 50 g butter
- 2 tablespoons honey or corn syrup
- For the cream:
- 400 ml milk
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 200 ml cream (or whipped cream)
- 100 g labneh or mascarpone (optional)
- For the topping:
- 100 g milk or white chocolate
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Melt white chocolate, butter, and honey together over low heat or in the microwave. Stir in puffed rice until well coated. Press mixture into a lined 22 cm pan. Chill for 20 minutes.
- Cook the cream: In a saucepan, whisk milk, cornstarch, flour, sugar, and vanilla. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Let cool completely.
- Finish the cream: Add labneh or mascarpone to the cooled mixture and mix until smooth. Add cream and beat lightly until fluffy.
- Assemble: Spread cream evenly over the chilled rice base and smooth the top.
- Make the topping: Melt chocolate with oil until smooth. Pour over the cream layer and tilt the pan to spread evenly.
- Chill: Refrigerate for 3–4 hours or overnight until set. Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
- Use a spoon or measuring cup to press the puffed rice layer firmly so it holds together.
- Cool the cream mixture completely before adding mascarpone or cream to avoid curdling.
- Use a warm knife to slice for cleaner cuts.
- For a firmer cream layer, increase cornstarch slightly or use full-fat mascarpone.
