Easy Chocolate Cherry Ice Cream Bites

This recipe features creamy chocolate ice cream mixed with chunks of cherry, all coated in a rich chocolate shell. The preparation time is minimal, and the result is a delicious dessert that serves about 12 bites.

Ingredients

2 cups chocolate ice cream
1 cup fresh or frozen cherries, pitted and chopped
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional for smoother coating)
Sprinkles or crushed nuts for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Ice Cream Mixture: In a bowl, combine the chocolate ice cream and chopped cherries until evenly mixed.
Form the Bites: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion the ice cream mixture into bite-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 1-2 hours, or until the ice cream bites are firm.
Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
Coat the Bites: Dip each frozen ice cream bite into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, then return to the baking sheet. Optionally, sprinkle with toppings before the chocolate sets.
Final Freeze: Return the coated bites to the freezer for an additional 30 minutes to set the chocolate. Serve frozen.
