Ice Cream Truffles Recipes

ICE CREAM TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Line 2 quarter-sheet pans with wax paper. Working quickly, portion out the ice cream using a 1 1/2-tablespoon scoop. Line up the scoops, 12 strawberry on one sheet pan and 12 pistachio on the other, and place in the freezer for at least 2 hours.
• Twenty minutes before you are ready to roll the truffles, add the chocolate and coconut oil to a bowl set over a pan of simmering water and allow it to melt and become smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix together.
• Place the pistachios and red jimmies in separate bowls.
• Remove the strawberry ice cream from the freezer. One at a time, drop the ice cream into the chocolate, then remove with a fork and place back on the sheet pan. Immediately sprinkle on the jimmies. Repeat with the remaining strawberry ice cream scoops and return to the freezer.
• Remove the pistachio ice cream and repeat the process above, immediately sprinkling the truffles with the pistachios. Return them to the freezer and allow to firm up, about 2 hours. Transfer to a freezer container and freeze for up to 1 month.
