Matcha Rice Krispy Treat Strawberry Ice Cream Sandwiches

If you grew up loving rice krispy treats and ice cream sandwiches… this is your upgrade.

These Matcha Rice Krispy Strawberry Ice Cream Sandwiches are soft, gooey, and layered with creamy strawberry ice cream for the perfect balance of nostalgic and elevated.

I had to put my own fun twist on the classic rice krispy ice cream sammies, and this version is so good. Think chewy marshmallow texture, bold matcha flavor, and that sweet, fruity ice cream moment all in one bite.

Perfect for spring, summer, or anytime you want a dessert that feels a little extra.

Texture Tips (Do Not Skip)

• Use low heat when melting marshmallows…VERY important
• Add extra mini marshmallows at the end
• Press lightly, NOT firmly or they will become hard
• Don’t overfreeze…keeps them chewy

Flavor Variations & Toppings

• Matcha vanilla → use vanilla bean ice cream
• Strawberry shortcake → add crushed cookies to edges
• Chocolate matcha → drizzle with organic dark chocolate
• Coconut matcha → add toasted coconut flakes
• Roll edges in crushed organic freeze-dried strawberries
• Drizzle with white chocolate
• Sprinkle flaky sea salt
• Dust with extra matcha

My Go-To Kitchen Staples

• High-quality ceremonial matcha
• Sharp knife for clean slicing
• Organic rice cereal
• Ice cream spade (for easy scooping and spreading)
• Fine seal salt (micro-plastic free!)
• Unbleached parchment paper sheets (for easy removal)

The Ultimate Matcha Dessert Moment

This is one of those desserts that feels playful but elevated…like something you’d see at a trendy dessert shop.

Soft, gooey, creamy, and packed with flavor… it’s nostalgic, but upgraded.

And once you slice into that layered center? Yeah… it’s a moment
