If you like ice cream with mint, you'll love this beautiful chocolates. My favorite part is that they can stay frozen for the time and easy to carry a soft impressive gift when friends come calling. Make ahead-as-you-no-stress last minute type of dessert. I love him.
RECIPE (maybe 20-30 chocolates, depending on how big you make them)
INGREDIENTS:
1.5 quart mint chip ice cream
1/2 – 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1-2 tsp vegetable oil
sugar crystals for decoration
DIRECTIONS:
Make ice cream with mint one or two days before, or buy a good sign of it (ie Dreyer / s Edy). Use ice cream scoop firmly frozen ice into small balls and place on parchment or wax coated plate. You may have to put the card back in the freezer here and there to work, especially if your ice cream starts to get a little soft. Insert a toothpick each scoop of ice cream. Leave all the scoops of ice cream in the freezer for a good night.
Melt the chocolate and oil in a bowl over a pot of boiling water, not allowing a bowl touch the water. Stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly, so always melts but not hot.
Work quickly and with small batches at a time, keep each scoop of ice cream with a stick and spoon melted chocolate around. Good good fuck on the parchment / wax stick and bathroom to remove plaque. Sprinkle sugar crystals immediately on top before the top of the chocolate companies. Repeat until all the good grain lots are full. Freeze for a few hours, if you can wait that long!
