Calories: 123kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream or your favorite flavor
- 7 oz dark chocolate, broken up
- 1 ½ teaspoons vegetable oil (I like to use a combo of almond & coconut oil)
- Garnishes: sprinkles, chopped peanuts, toasted coconut, crushed cookies, chopped candy bars
Instructions
- Linda small cookie sheet with waxed paper.
- Using a small cookie scoop, scoop vanilla ice cream into balls and place on prepared cookie sheet.
- Freeze for at least 30 minutes.
- When ready to assemble, line up all garnishes so they are ready to go.
- Place chocolate and oil into a microwave safe measuring cup or bowl. Melt in 30 second increments, stirring in-between, until melted.
- Remove ice cream balls from freezer. Working quickly, dip into melted chocolate mixture then immediately sprinkle with topping of your choice.
- If chocolate hardens too quickly for topping just spoon a little extra on top and sprinkle topping quickly.
- Return to freezer for at least 30 minutes then enjoy.
