Frozen Chocolate Coconut Mounds are homemade ice cream novelties that were inspired by a popular candy, and they're the perfect snack or sweet ending to any meal.

What You'll Need

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

What to Do

Line a 6-cup muffin tin with paper baking cups and place a chocolate wafer cookie in each cup.
In a large bowl, combine ice cream and coconut; mix well. Using an ice cream scoop, place a rounded scoop of ice cream mixture into each cup. Top each with chopped almonds and freeze for 1 hour, or until firm.
Drizzle each with hard-shell topping until tops are completely covered. Freeze until chocolate shell is 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 peanut butter-flavored hard-shell topping.
