100gramsWhite Chocolategood eating quality, melted ( 3.5 oz )
½cupVanilla Ice-Creamgood quality, defrosted in the fridge
2tablespoonsPeppermint Liqueur
Edible decorationsoptional
Instructions
Use six silicone star shaped molds - should be big enough to hold a thin layer of chocolate as well as two tablespoons ice-cream
Start by brushing the insides of the molds, using a silicone brush, with a thin layer of White Chocolate - bottom and up the sides (see Notes below)
Place in the refrigerator for a minute to harden, repeat the brushing - refrigerate and repeat the process once more
The Chocolate should now be covering all the sides, nooks and bottom of the mold
Combine the defrosted Ice-Cream and Peppermint Liqueur - pour about two tablespoons into each of the prepared Chocolate Stars (still in the silicone molds)
Place in the freezer for 90 minutes or until the Ice-Cream is frozen
Remove from the freezer, give a final brush with a layer or two of melted Chocolate over the Ice-Cream top and return to the refrigerator for a minute
Just before serving remove the silicone molds by gently pulling it away from the Chocolate Ice-Cream Stars
Decorate with edible glitter or however you prefer and serve
Notes
The first, and even second layer, of the Chocolate do not have to be perfect - you only want a starting point - as the molds and Chocolate gets colder, every other layer will stick better
Italian Kisses will be fine if kept in a sealed container in the freezer for up to three months
