Ingredients

  • 15 Nilla Wafers or any plain thin cookies
  • 1 pint Ice cream any flavor
  • 14 oz chocolate melting wafers*
  • 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. (You can skip the parchment paper if you want, it just makes clean up easier.)
  2. Top each cookie with a small scoop of ice cream. Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Melt the chocolate melting wafers according to the package directions. Stir in the coconut oil.
  4. Once the chocolate is melted, working with one at a time, dunk each bonbon into the chocolate to coat. Tap on the side of the bowl a few times to remove any excess chocolate, then place back on the baking sheet. Immediately top with chocolate chips. (It will set up fast, so you need to be quick.)
  5. Return the bonbons to the freezer for another 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • *You can use regular semi-sweet chocolate instead of the melting wafers, but I find the wafers easier to work with.
  • You may get more or less than 15 bon bons. Many ice cream containers aren’t a pint anymore, but 14 oz. I used Haagen Dazs Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream and it was only 14 ounces.
