Ingredients[]
- 1 pint ice cream, any flavor
- 4 digestive biscuits or graham crackers
- 2 tablespoons ghee or unsalted butter
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Chocolate Cardamom Sauce, for serving
Directions[]
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Using a small ice cream scoop or tablespoon, scoop out 1-ounce balls of ice cream and place them, not touching, on the prepared pan. (You’ll have about 16 balls of ice cream.)
- Slip the pan into the freezer and freeze the balls until solid, about 4 hours.
- While the ice cream balls are freezing, crush the biscuits or graham crackers until coarsely ground.
- In a frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the ghee over medium heat.
- When the ghee has melted, add the crushed biscuits, reduce the heat to medium-low, and toast, stirring continuously, until golden brown, about 4 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, pour into a shallow bowl, and let cool completely.
- Set aside until needed.
- Wipe out the pan and reserve.
- When ready to assemble, add the remaining 1 tablespoon ghee to the reserved pan, melt over low heat, pour into a small heatproof bowl, and let cool.
- Remove the ice cream balls from the freezer.
- One at a time, coat them on all sides with the ghee, quickly roll them in the toasted crumbs, coating on all sides, and return them to the sheet pan.
- When all the balls are coated, serve immediately with the sauce or return them to the freezer for up to 4 hours before serving.
- Serve with the sauce on the side for dipping.
