Fun Ice Cream Idea

For a fun dessert sure to impress guests, I roll individually frozen balls of ice cream in fun toppings like chopped nuts, toasted coconut or chopped candy bars. Then I freeze the balls until firm and arrange in a pretty serving bowl. Guests can choose whichever combination appeals to them. —Eileen Greiss, Youngtown, Arizona
