Ingredients
- Mint chip ice cream
- 1 ½ cups dark or semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or vegetable oil
- Optional toppings: crushed nuts, sprinkles, or extra chocolate drizzle
Instructions
- Prepare the Tray – Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place it in the freezer.
- Scoop the Ice Cream – Form small balls of mint chip ice cream and place them on the chilled baking sheet. Freeze for at least 1 hour until firm.
- Melt the Chocolate – In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Coat the Ice Cream – Using a fork or skewer, dip each frozen ice cream ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring an even coating. Let the excess chocolate drip off.
- Set the Bon Bons – Place the coated bon bons back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Add toppings if desired.
- Final Freeze – Freeze again for at least 30 minutes until the chocolate shell is fully set.
- Enjoy or Store – Serve immediately or store in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- Work in batches to keep the ice cream from melting while dipping.
- Add more coconut oil if the chocolate is too thick.
- Let the bon bons sit for a minute before eating for the best texture.
