Miracle Max's Miracle Pill (Chocolate Coated Strawberry Ice Cream)

Hubby, being prescient (and amply aided by a piece of paper on which was inscribed everything I wanted for Christmas), got me the Kitchen Aid ice cream bowl mixer attachment.  I have never had so much fun making ice cream before. 

The first batch of ice cream was hazelnut ice cream.  The second was chocolate.  The third was coffee.  Then Hubby asked me to make strawberry ice cream, which brought to mind a particular Gordon Ramsay recipe from his book, Just Desserts, in which he dips scoops of ice cream in melted white chocolate to make little ice cream bon bons.

Always interested in anything that adds fat and calories to my desserts, I melted down some chocolate and used a melon baller to make tiny ice cream scoops, then rolled them in the melted chocolate.  I didn't get the infuriatingly perfect round bon bon that Ramsay gets, but I was rather pleased with the bon bon.

As I was plating the first few to serve for dessert, Hubby walked past the kitchen, glanced over at me and smirked.  "Have fun storming the castle boys!"

It never even occurred to me what they looked like till he said that....

What does it matter?  It tasted great.

Did you have MLT's before for dinner? Those bon bons still sound good to me.

Man i've been fantasizing about buying that ice cream attachment for quite a while...maybe its time to try that bacon-butter pecan ice cream I've been pondering.

The bonbons look delicious.
