FAQ
Can I use store-bought coated ice cream balls instead?
Yes! If you’re short on time, you can buy pre-made coated ice cream balls and customize them with extra toppings or melted chocolate.

How do I make the coating stick better?
Press gently but firmly while rolling the ice cream in the coating mixture. You can also lightly moisten the surface of the ice cream with a little melted chocolate to help toppings stick better.

Can I make this dairy-free?
Absolutely! Use dairy-free ice cream and dairy-free chocolate chips or cookies for a fully dairy-free version.

How do I prevent the ice cream from melting too quickly?
Work quickly when rolling the ice cream in the coating. If needed, freeze the balls between steps to keep them firm.
