  • whipped cream

directions

  • Use a medium to large round ice cream scooper and scoop up some ice cream.
  • Carefully push a chocolate covered cherry into the center of the scoop until the cherry is even with the edge of the scoop and level off the ice cream.
  • You don't want the cherry to hit the top of the scooper, try to center it.
  • Release onto a parchment lined baking sheet and freeze until very hard.
  • Repeat for each chocolate covered cherry.
  • Before serving, cover each'bomb' with Magic Shell.
  • When the shell is hard put onto a dessert plate and garnish with some whipped cream.
  • People are always amazed when they cut this open and find a chocolate covered cherry inside.
  • The cherry won't freeze!

  1. Very interesting and simple recipe I would have never thought of. The kid's and adults loved it. Looked like something from an expensive restaurant.
     
  2. This was wonderful! I also tried it with a coffee ice cream and chocolate truffles inside. That was good too. I'm going to play with different combinations.
     
  3. WOW! A simple, easy to make lovely dessert! Best of all is the choco-cherry!!!! You must have the mind of a genius to cook up something so cool!

Hi! I live just outside of the "Emerald City", Seattle! I'm from the east, but moved here when I married. One thing I miss about the east coast more than anything are my 5 grandkids, 4 boys and one Princess. My husband, Sam, is a chili cookoff blue ribbon winner. He used to cook professionally and still enjoys BBQing and smoking ribs and Triploids. What's a Triploid? It's a humongous rainbow trout! I caught my first last spring and Sam smoked them - totally yummy! Sam and I both like canning. We enjoy making jams, salsa, dilly beans, cha-cha pickles (mmm, secret recipe!), and lots of other goodies. My grandkids love jam. When they get a package from me they have a cow if there is no jam in the box. My favorite chef is Julia Child who is the Empress of good cooking. After her I would have to say that I learned more from Nathalie Dupree than I could have learned at the CIA! She is a wonderful and honest cook who makes real food for real people! My pet peeve is going to a restaurant and ordering a chicken ceaser salad and getting two ounces of chicken on a bunch of soggy romaine. C'mon! Thow some protein on that lettuce!
