Yield Makes 28 to 32 truffles

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 pint vanilla ice cream
18 chocolate wafers

Steps:

  • 1. Place a plate lined with wax paper in the freezer for 10 minutes.
  • 2. With a small ice cream scoop or a melon baller, quickly scoop small balls of the ice cream, using about 1 tablespoon for each; make 3 or 4 at a time, placing them on a plate, then transferring them to the plate in the freezer. Freeze for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
  • 3. Pulse the wafers in a food processor until finely ground. Transfer to a sheet of wax paper.
  • 4. Working quickly, roll the ice cream balls in the ground wafers to coat completely. Return to the wax-paper-lined plate, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 days.
  • 5. Serve in foil bonbon cups, if desired, or simply arranged on small plates.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ice cream: The better the ice cream, the better the truffles will be. Look for ice cream that is made with fresh, natural ingredients and has a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Freeze the ice cream before dipping: This will help the truffles hold their shape better. For best results, freeze the ice cream for at least 30 minutes before dipping.
  • Use a variety of coatings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different coatings for your truffles. Some popular options include chocolate, nuts, sprinkles, and crushed cookies.
  • Be patient: Making ice cream truffles takes time. Be patient and don't rush the process. Rushing can lead to truffles that are not as smooth or as well-coated as they could be.

Conclusion:

Ice cream truffles are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They can be made with a variety of ice cream flavors and coatings, so there is sure to be a recipe that everyone will enjoy.
