Number Of Ingredients 4

3 tablespoon(s) instant coffee + 3 tablespoons boiling water
1 cup(s) semi-sweet melted chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips
3 cup(s) chocolate crispy rice cereal (like cocoa rice krispies, cocoa pebbles or cap'n'crunch)
1 quart(s) (5 cups) of no churn vanilla ice cream (or use your favorite brand), softened

Steps:

Combine boiling water with instant coffee. Set aside. On the stove-top or in the microwave in a heat-safe bowl in 30 second increments; melt semi-sweet chocolate until smooth. Immediately whisk half of the coffee mixture. Add the rice cereal to a large bowl and pour melted chocolate over and stir to coat. Line a cookie sheet or large flat plate with parchment paper and spread the coated cereal on top. Place in the freezer to harden (about 30 minutes) then remove and break cereal into small bite sized pieces.
Meanwhile, remove vanilla ice cream from freezer and place on counter to soften. Mix the softened ice cream with the remaining coffee. Then stir in the 1 1/2 cups of coated cereal. Pour into a 6-inch springform pan spreading evenly. Sprinkle with the remaining crunchy cereal, and press down. Place pan in freezer for 4-6 hours or overnight to harden and set up.
When ready to serve, remove cake from the freezer. Use a slim paring knife run around the edges of the springform pan and then remove the sides. Place on your favorite serving plate and top with more cereal if desired. Cut and serve.
