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.
