Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Balls: A Fun and Indulgent Treat

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop the ice cream into medium-sized balls using an ice cream scoop or a spoon. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and freeze for 30–60 minutes until firm.

Prepare the Coating:
In a mixing bowl, combine the mini chocolate chips, crushed cookies, chopped nuts, and shredded coconut (if using). Stir the mixture well to ensure the toppings are evenly distributed.

Coat the Ice Cream Balls:
Roll each frozen ice cream ball into the coating mixture. Press lightly so the toppings stick well. If needed, roll the balls gently in your hands to help the coating adhere.

Freeze Again:
Place the coated ice cream balls back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 1 hour, or until they are firm and fully set.

Optional Drizzle:
For extra indulgence, drizzle melted chocolate over the ice cream balls before serving. Let the chocolate set in the freezer for a few minutes before serving.

Serve and Enjoy:
Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the freezer until ready to enjoy.
