Chocolate-Coconut Chillers

Serves: 6

6 chocolate wafer cookies

1 pint vanilla ice cream, slightly softened

1 cup sweetened flaked coconut

2 tablespoons chopped almonds

1/3 cup chocolate-flavored hard-shell topping

Line a 6-cup muffin tin with paper baking cups; place a chocolate wafer

cookie in each cup. In a large bowl, combine the ice cream and coconut; mix

well.

Using an ice-cream scoop, place a rounded scoop of the ice-cream mixture

into each cup. Top each with the chopped almonds and freeze for 1 hour, or

until

firm. Drizzle hard shell topping over each until the tops are completely

covered. Freeze until the chocolate shells are firm. Serve, or cover and

keep

frozen until ready to serve.

Note: Another favorite version of this is to mix chopped miniature

peanut-butter cups with the ice cream, then sprinkle with chopped peanuts

and top with

a chocolate-and-peanut-butter-flavored hard-shell topping.
