Peppermint Chocolate Ice-Cream Cups

How to make Chocolate cups and a Peppermint Ice-Cream filling are extremely easy to make (semi-homemade and NO ice-cream machine required) and perfect for St Patrick’s Day.

Peppermint Chocolate Ice-Cream Cups

These Peppermint Chocolate Ice-Cream Cups are perfect to serve on St Patrick’s day or any other day if you are a fan of either Peppermint treats or Ice-Cream.

As you can see, I have just removed mine from the freezer to take a few pics (see the icy bits on the Chocolate Cups ?). I had to work fast as the Ice-Cream I used, my favorite brand, goes soft very quickly, not melting soft, just soft.

Peppermint Chocolate Ice-Cream Cups

It only takes two ingredients to make the Ice-Cream.

Therefore if making the Chocolate Cups seem like too much work (which it really is not!), scoop the Ice-Cream into a bowl or a cone. Top with the Mint Crunch and some gold nugget sprinkles to get the mood going for St Patrick’s Day.

Peppermint Chocolate Ice-Cream Cups

Use any kind of Mint if Mint Crunch is unavailable for the topping. I love the chewiness of this specific brand of Mint Crunch which I can only get at our local baking supply store.

Peppermint Chocolate Ice-Cream Cups

The Ice-Cream scoops out of the Chocolate Cups easily after a minute or two. That is if you are using a good quality Ice-Cream, which I highly recommend.
