Tip

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

I made this Gelato for two of my siblings birthdays (they were born on the same day but are not twins). They both loved it and so did our parents. The next day we gave some to visitors who loved it as well.

I omitted the liquor so the taste was mild. Hopefully next time I can add it.

I served this with fresh strawberries, raspberries and blackberries and was a very refreshing, actually light ending to a great dinner. Was very easy to make.
