Ice Cream Truffles & Link to a great site


I am so excited to be able to share a GREAT web site with fellow foodies....GARNISH .... you will LOVE her site because it's all about packaging and presentation and that makes our food gifts look even more impressive!  She also has a great shipping policy for the holidays   $7 flat rate !


This photo and recipe are from her site.......... peruse it and bookmark it... how wonderful to be able to have a source for the packaging to show off your great creations.  All her packaging is food safe...except the metal CD boxes.


Enjoy!

The entry below is from her site..........

On a recent trip to my family's cottage in the lovely land of Muskoka, I was flipping through a Canadian Living magazine. And here is what I found. Ice cream truffles! That's right, truffles that are ice cream. I am loving everything about it!

Step 1: using a melon baller or small scoop, dish out vanilla ice cream balls and place on a tray or mini muffin tray and place in freezer

Step 2: pour some of your favorite goodies into separate bowls...nuts, coconut, sprinkles, cocoa powder

Step 3: remove the ice cream balls from the freezer and roll in the goodies

Step 4: place the truffles in a mini cupcake liner

Step 5: store in a white paper bowl with lid , in a deli plastic container , in a round hinged container or put in a freezer bag and then place inside a variety of unique boxes for a real statement

Step 6: share...bring for a hostess gift, send them home with your guests at the end of a party, or spread the love, just because!

July is national ice cream month (thanks Skip to my Lou for letting us know!). Enjoy it like you've never had before. We love creative. We love unique. We love this idea!
