Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Vanilla ice cream (or your favorite flavor)
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (or butter)
- 0.5 cup Sprinkles, crushed nuts, or shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and place it in the freezer to chill.
Using a small cookie scoop or melon baller, scoop out bite-sized portions of ice cream, aiming for uniform size. Place each scoop onto the chilled baking sheet, leaving space between each.
Place the baking sheet with the ice cream scoops back into the freezer and freeze for 1-2 hours, or until the scoops are completely firm.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil (or butter). Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly for about 5 minutes so it isn’t too hot.
Using a fork or spoon, carefully dip each frozen ice cream bite into the melted chocolate to coat it completely. Tap off any excess chocolate and return the coated bite to the baking sheet.
If desired, immediately sprinkle the coated ice cream bites with sprinkles, crushed nuts, or shredded coconut before the chocolate sets.
Once all the ice cream bites are coated, place the baking sheet back into the freezer for 20-30 minutes, or until the chocolate shell is fully hardened.
Serve immediately or store the ice cream bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
