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 for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have a truffle roller, you can shape the truffles by hand. Just roll them into balls, then coat them in cocoa powder or chopped nuts.
  • Truffles can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Thaw them at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.
  • For a fun twist, try using different flavors of ice cream, such as mint chocolate chip, strawberry, or rocky road.
  • You can also decorate the truffles with melted chocolate, sprinkles, or chopped nuts.
