Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pints vanilla ice cream, softened
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
8 to 10 drops yellow food coloring
1 cup cocoa powder, for coating
2 cups whipped cream, for serving
Dark green sprinkles, for serving
Chocolate Sauce

Steps:

  • Have ready 4 sheets of plastic wrap. Place 3 generous scoops of ice cream on each sheet; gather ends lengthwise and mold into the shape of a baked potato. Set each on a sheet of aluminum foil and wrap to hold in place; transfer to freezer to firm, about 1 hour. Repeat 3 more times.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy; mix in yellow food coloring. Using an offset spatula, spread yellow butter 1/4 inch thick on a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet; freeze for 20 minutes. Cut into 1-inch "butter pats," and set aside.
  • Unwrap frozen "potatoes," and coat with cocoa powder. Draw a knife through the cocoa on top of each "potato" to expose the inside. Top with whipped cream, green sprinkles for "chives," and "butter pats." Serve immediately with chocolate sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Use a starchy variety of potato, such as Russets or Yukon Golds, which will hold their shape well when baked.
  • Bake the potatoes thoroughly: Make sure the potatoes are cooked through before adding the ice cream. This will help to prevent the ice cream from melting too quickly.
  • Use high-quality ice cream: The quality of the ice cream will make a big difference in the final product. Use a premium ice cream that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make ice cream baked potatoes. Try adding different toppings, such as chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit.
