I don't know where this recipe came from but my friends go nuts trying to figure out how I made it! My Scrabble buddy can eat four of them! Everyone loves this dessert!

SERVES 8 -12 , 8 -12 Cherry Bombs (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
  • 1 box dark chocolate-covered cherries
  • 2 bottles Magic Shell ice cream topping, any flavor (I use the darkest chocolate they have)
  • whipped cream

Directions

  1. 1
    Use a medium to large round ice cream scooper and scoop up some ice cream.
  2. 2
    Carefully push a chocolate covered cherry into the center of the scoop until the cherry is even with the edge of the scoop and level off the ice cream.
  3. 3
    You don't want the cherry to hit the top of the scooper, try to center it.
  4. 4
    Release onto a parchment lined baking sheet and freeze until very hard.
  5. 5
    Repeat for each chocolate covered cherry.
  6. 6
    Before serving, cover each'bomb' with Magic Shell.
  7. 7
    When the shell is hard put onto a dessert plate and garnish with some whipped cream.
  8. 8
    People are always amazed when they cut this open and find a chocolate covered cherry inside.
  9. 9
    The cherry won't freeze!

This was wonderful! I also tried it with a coffee ice cream and chocolate truffles inside. That was good too. I'm going to play with different combinations.
