Shake Your Bon Bons!
- 1 quart coffee ice cream (chocolate works, too!)
- 14 ounces dark chocolate, chopped (semisweet or bittersweet)
- 2 ounces white chocolate, chopped
- Line a baking sheet with plastic wrap and freeze the empty pan.
- Dip a melon baller or a cookie scoop in hot water and scoop a 1 ice cream ball.
- Place the ball on the frozen baking sheet.
- Repeat for 40 balls.
- (Work quickly!
- ).
- Place the tray in the freezer for a least 1 hour until they set.
- Using a 1 foot square piece of foam, skewer each ball with a toothpick and stand it upright in the foam.
- Repeat for all 40, working quickly.
- Return the ice cream balls to the freezer and re-freeze until completely set.
- In the meantime, place the chopped dark chocolate in a small bowl over a saucepan of simmering water.
- Stir the chocolate until it melts completely smooth.
- Set the melted chocolate aside until it is barely warm.
- This is the important part.
- Too hot and it will run right off the ice cream.
- Too cold and it will harden and be unusable.
- Coat the ice cream balls completely in the melted chocolate.
- Hold to drip clean and stand back on the foam.
- (You may need to do this in sections to prevent melting.
- ).
- When all are done, freeze once again for at least 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt the white chocolate in a different bowl, using the same method.
- Pour the white chocolate into a small plastic storage bag and stab a hole in the corner with a toothpick.
- (Scissor cut will be too much!
- ).
- Drizzle the white chocolate in angled stripes back and forth across each ball.
- Freeze once again for at least 30 minutes.
- Once plated, serve immediately.
