Mmm-Mmm Ice Cream Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/3 cup butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1 cup high-protein crisp rice and wheat cereal (such as Kellogg's(R) Special K(R)) - crushed
1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream, softened
1 (6 ounce) package chocolate chips
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup evaporated milk

Preparation

Mix melted butter, brown sugar, almonds, coconut, and crushed cereal together in a bowl until thoroughly combined and crumbly. Press half the mixture into a 9x13-inch dish; reserve remaining mixture.
Smooth the ice cream in an even layer over the crust. Sprinkle top with remaining cereal mixture.
In a saucepan, combine the chocolate chips, corn syrup, and evaporated milk over low heat until the chocolate chips have melted; stir the mixture until combined and smooth. Heat to a bare simmer, and cook, stirring constantly, until the syrup has thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes, then drizzle syrup over the top of the cake. Freeze the cake until firm, at least 2 hours; remove about 15 minutes before serving.
