25 25

Ingredients

1 quart ice cream
2 cups finely chopped toasted pecans
2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup butter
1 tablespoon instant coffee granules

Directions

Make 3/4-in. ice cream balls with a small melon-ball scoop; immediately roll in pecans. Cover and freeze until firm, at least 1 hour.
In a microwave or small saucepan, melt the chocolate chips and butter; stir until smooth. Stir in coffee until dissolved. Remove 10 ice cream balls from freezer; push a toothpick into each. Holding toothpick and working quickly, dip balls in chocolate mixture. Place on waxed paper or press toothpicks into Styrofoam block. Return to freezer. Repeat with remaining balls. Place in small paper cups or wrap with foil or plastic wrap. Store in freezer. Yield: about 5 dozen.
