Salted Caramel Ice Cream Bon Bons
Ingredients
- 1 pint caramel or dulce de leche ice cream or dairy-free caramel ice cream
- 10 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips or dairy-free chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons solid vegetable shortening
- 1 cup gluten-free chocolate cookie crumbs
- Flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet or 2 plates with waxed paper.
- Using a small (1 tablespoon or ½ ounce) ice cream scoop, place scoops of the ice cream on the prepared baking sheet or plates. Insert a toothpick into the top of each ice cream scoop. Freeze until solid, at least 2 hours.
- Put the chocolate and shortening in a heat-safe bowl and set over a pan of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Melt the chocolate, stirring occasionally. Let cool slightly.
- Pour the cookie crumbs onto a small plate.
- Working quickly, hold the frozen ice cream balls by the toothpicks over the bowl of melted chocolate. Spoon the chocolate over the ice cream balls, turning to make sure they get fully coated. Dip the bottoms in cookie crumbs and place back on the baking sheet or plates. Remove the toothpicks. Sprinkle the tops of each bon bon with a tiny pinch of flaky salt. Freeze until firm, about 2 hours. Can be made up to 3 days ahead.
Notes
Work quickly when making these bon bons. It may be easier to work in batches. If the chocolate gets too cold and does not spoon easily over the ice cream balls, place back over simmering water and reheat. Make sure your chocolate is not hot when spooning over the ice cream or it will melt the ice cream.
