For the Decorations
  • 1 cup Mini Chocolate Chips Ideal for eyes and mouths; their size helps them stay put.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by allowing your vanilla ice cream to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes.
  2. Using a sturdy ice cream scoop, start forming the snowmen by scooping out one large ball for the bottom and a smaller ball for the head.
  3. Carefully place the stacked ice cream balls onto a parchment-lined tray and freeze for at least 20 minutes.
  4. Once firm, take the snowmen out of the freezer, and swiftly decorate them with the eyes, mouth, and noses using white icing and candies.
  5. After decorating, return your Christmas Ice Cream Snowmen to the freezer for another 10 minutes.

Notes

Keep it cool by working with cold, dry hands; these snowmen can be assembled ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
