Edible Ice Cream Bowls

 Edible white chocolate ice cream bowl

The kids and I made edible ice cream bowls yesterday for dessert.  We used white chocolate wafers.  It was super simple.  I melted the wafers in the microwave for a few minutes.  Then I transfered the chocolate liquid to a cooler bowl.  I took small balloons (already inflated and tied) and dipped them in the liquid. 

 

 Dipped balloons

You want to cover the bottoms to create a bowl.  Place the balloons on wax paper to set and chill in the freezer for five minutes.  Remove from the freezer, pop the balloons and peel the balloon remnants from the chocolate bowl.  Load your bowl with ice cream and enjoy!

 

 I love that they were all a bit different.

What's For Dessert

 

Dessert Train

Check out our dessert for tonight!  The kids and I made a train this afternoon.  It is not homemade (unfortunately) but it was constructed by us (using Little Debbies!) and it was a lot of fun!  The inspiration came from a book called Candy Construction and it has some pretty amazing things you can create with candy and food!
