Ingredients
- 1 quart Vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 0.5 cup Sprinkles or crushed nuts
- 1 sheet Parchment paper
Directions
Step 1
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place it in the freezer to chill while you prepare the ice cream hearts.
Step 2
Allow the vanilla ice cream to soften at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes until scoopable but not melted.
Step 3
Spread the softened ice cream evenly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, about 1-inch thick. Return it to the freezer and allow it to firm up for 1-2 hours or until solid.
Step 4
Once the ice cream is solid, use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out heart-shaped pieces. Work quickly and transfer each heart to the pre-chilled baking sheet. Place the ice cream hearts back in the freezer to firm up for an additional 30 minutes.
Step 5
In the meantime, melt the semisweet chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-30 second increments, stirring after each session, until smooth and glossy. Let the chocolate cool slightly but remain pourable.
Step 6
Remove the ice cream hearts from the freezer. Using a fork or skewer, dip each heart into the melted chocolate, coating it completely or partially, depending on your design preference.
Step 7
Quickly add sprinkles or crushed nuts onto the chocolate coating before it hardens. Work in small batches to prevent melting.
Step 8
Place the coated hearts back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and return them to the freezer for 10-15 minutes to set completely.
Step 9
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week. Enjoy your adorable Ice Cream Hearts!
