Ingredients:
- 2 cups of light vanilla ice cream (or a reduced-fat version)
- 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips (or regular ones, but mini work better for rolling)
- Optional: 1 tbsp of low-fat whipped topping (to make it creamy but lower in points)
- Sprinkles or cocoa powder (for decoration, optional)
Instructions:
- Scoop the Ice Cream: Using a small ice cream scooper or a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the ice cream and roll them into balls. You should aim for about 6-8 small balls depending on the size you prefer.
- Mix the Chocolate Chips: Gently mix in the mini chocolate chips (or mix them in between the scoops if you prefer).
- Freeze the Balls: Place the ice cream balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 30 minutes to make them firmer and easier to handle.
- Roll (optional): Once firm, you can roll the balls in cocoa powder, crushed nuts, or sprinkles if you’d like to add more flavor or texture.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once frozen and ready, serve immediately or store in an airtight container for later.
Points Calculation:
