Instructions

  1. Before starting, make sure ice cream is solidly frozen. Using firmly frozen ice cream, scoop ice cream into small balls and place onto parchment or wax lined plate.  Put plate back in freezer here and there are you work, especially if your ice cream starts getting a bit soft.
  2. Insert toothpick into each ice cream ball. Leave all ice cream balls in freezer to firm up well overnight.
  3. Melt chocolate and oil in a bowl over saucepan of simmering water, not allowing bowl to touch water.  Stir until melted and smooth.  Remove from heat and let cool off a bit, so it's still melted but not hot.
  4. Working quickly and with small batches at a time, hold each ice cream ball by toothpick and spoon melted chocolate all around it.  Set bon bon down on parchment/wax lined plate and remove toothpick. 
  5. Quickly sprinkle sugar crystals over top before chocolate firms up.  Repeat in batches until all bon bons are complete.  Freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.

  • Make homemade ice cream a day or two beforehand, or buy a good quality carton. 
  • Be sure ice cream is firmly frozen before you start working with it. This will make it easier to scoop into balls and will prevent it from melting too quickly when you add the chocolate
  • When melting the chocolate, be patient and stir it regularly. It's important to remove it from the heat when it's melted and smooth, and let it cool a bit before using - this will help the chocolate coat the ice cream smoothly, without melting it.
  • Don't skip the step of leaving the ice cream balls in the freezer overnight. This allows them to set solidly and makes it easier to coat them in the chocolate.
  • Feel free to get creative with your decorations. Try sprinkling colored sprinkles, jimmies or nonpareils, or roasted chopped nuts.
