Week 20 - Ice Cream Bon Bons

So I made these the same day I made the peach blueberry pie.  They were honestly a cinch.  Would be great for a dinner party to accompany some type of fancy cake, with a little ice cream on the side...

The recipe was from my Food and Wine Magazine that I get each day.

Maybe this one was cheating because it wasn't technically baked but nonetheless, the recipe needs to be shared.

Mine were not as pretty as the ones in the magazine but tasty nonetheless....

Here is my assembly line: Ice Cream, chocolate, cookie crumbs.

A couple of hints - best to have two kinds of ice cream because it melts so fast.  You can switch back and forth....Or two pints of the same kind.  And use the scoop to get the ice cream out of the container but I had more success molding it with my hands into a bon bon shape...

I left off the salt but it it a great coverup for the skewer hole so if I did it again, I would use it!

They were so good.  Mike and I have been having one a night as a treat!

So....I am technically 8 weeks behind so I am probably going to be doing two or three things a week for a while until I catch up so the more the merrier!
