Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 quart Vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 0.5 cup Sprinkles or crushed nuts
- 1 sheet Parchment paper
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place it in the freezer to chill while you prepare the ice cream hearts.
Allow the vanilla ice cream to soften at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes until scoopable but not melted.
Spread the softened ice cream evenly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, about 1-inch thick. Return it to the freezer and allow it to firm up for 1-2 hours or until solid.
Once the ice cream is solid, use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out heart-shaped pieces. Work quickly and transfer each heart to the pre-chilled baking sheet. Place the ice cream hearts back in the freezer to firm up for an additional 30 minutes.
In the meantime, melt the semisweet chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-30 second increments, stirring after each session, until smooth and glossy. Let the chocolate cool slightly but remain pourable.
Remove the ice cream hearts from the freezer. Using a fork or skewer, dip each heart into the melted chocolate, coating it completely or partially, depending on your design preference.
Quickly add sprinkles or crushed nuts onto the chocolate coating before it hardens. Work in small batches to prevent melting.
Place the coated hearts back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and return them to the freezer for 10-15 minutes to set completely.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week. Enjoy your adorable Ice Cream Hearts!
