Ice Cream Turtle
I found this recipe in an old magazine and thought it would be perfect to make for my grandson's birthday. It was so cute and my grandson loved it.—Joanne Wright, Niles, Michigan
6 Servings
Prep: 45 min.
Ingredients
3 chocolate-covered coconut candy bars (1-3/4 ounces
each
)
12 vanilla
or
white chips
6 ice cream waffle bowls
6 scoops ice cream of your choice
24 pecan halves
2 chocolate licorice twists, cut into thirds
Directions
Cut a third off each candy piece, reserving large ends for turtle
heads (save small ends for another use). Cut a small hole in the
corner of a pastry or plastic bag; fill with frosting. On each
turtle head, secure two vanilla chips with frosting to resemble
eyes. Pipe a dot in the center of each chip for pupil; pipe frosting
over top of chips for eyelids. Pipe a turtle shell pattern onto
waffle bowls; set aside.
Place a scoop of ice cream on each serving plate. Working quickly,
position four pecan halves around each scoop for feet; press
slightly to secure.
Press a licorice piece into ice cream for tail. Place waffle bowl
over ice cream, making sure feet and tail show. Position head at
opposite end of tail. Serve immediately. Yield: 6 desserts.
