Ingredients
– 1 quart of ice cream (any flavor)
– 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional for a smoother finish)
– Toppings (e.g., crushed nuts, sprinkles, or coconut flakes) – optional
Instructions
Follow these easy steps to bring your Ice Cream Bon Bons to life:
1. Scoop the Ice Cream: Using a cookie scoop, portion out the ice cream and place the scoops onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
2. Shape the Scoops: Shape the ice cream into balls and smooth out any rough edges. This step will ensure an appealing final product.
3. Freeze the Balls: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 2 hours, allowing the ice cream balls to fully harden.
4. Prepare the Coating: While the ice cream is freezing, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments. Stir until smooth.
5. Coat the Ice Cream Balls: Dip each frozen ice cream ball into the melted chocolate, making sure it’s fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
6. Add Toppings: If you desire, sprinkle your chosen toppings over the chocolate coating while it’s still wet.
7. Repeat the Process: Once all ice cream balls are coated, return them to the baking sheet and place them back into the freezer for about 15 minutes or until the chocolate is set.
8. Serve: Once firm, your Ice Cream Bon Bons are ready to be served or can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer.
