This fun and deliciious Mexican treat is a great way to cap Christmas festivities.
Ingredients
- 1 pint ice cream (your favorite flavor)
- 3/4 cup almond cluster or granola cereal
- 1/3 cup mixed nuts, chopped fine
- 6 ounces semisweet chocolate morsels
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Thaw the ice cream slightly so that it's easy to scoop out of the container but still firm enough to hold shape. Meanwhile, combine the cereal and nuts in a bowl and set an empty muffin tin nearby.
- Working quickly, individually roll rounded scoops of ice cream in the cereal mixture and place them in the muffin tin (1 per cup). You should end up with 4 to 6 ice-cream balls. Cover the tin with plastic wrap and keep it in the freezer for at least 1 hour so the ice cream will firm up.
- For the chocolate gravy, combine the chocolate morsels and water in the top of a double boiler. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sauce is smooth. Makes 3/4 cup of sauce, which can be refrigerated in a sealed container up to a week.
- Just before serving, drizzle warm chocolate gravy over each ice-ceam ball. Enjoy.
