From Everyday with Rachael Ray. I don't like coffee anything, but I loved the idea of these and thought any ice cream work well here, and I would would sub chocolate chips for the espresso beans. Cook time includes freeze time.
Ingredients:
1 (12 count) box sugar ice cream cones
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup almonds, toasted and chopped
3 ounces semisweet chocolate, plus more
semisweet chocolate, for shavings
3 cups coffee ice cream, softened
1/2 cup chocolate-covered coffee beans, finely chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Directions:
1. Using food processor, grind ice cream cones into fine crumbs. Transfer to a med bowl and stir in butter. Divide between cups of a 6 cup jumbo muffin pan and press about 3/4 of the way up each cup. Spoon 1 T almonds into each cup.
2. In a small microwavable bowl, melt 3 oz chocolate at med power in intervals, stirring occasionally. Top almonds with melted chocolate to cover. Freeze 10 minute.
3. Spoon 2 T ice cream into each muffin cup. Sprinkle 1 T espresso beans onto ice cream and flatten with back of spoon. Add another 2 T ice cream and remaining almonds and flatten again. Add remaining ice cream and espresso beans and flatten. Freeze at least 1 hour.
4. Whip cream and sugar UNtil soft peaks form.
5. Run knife around edges of muffin cups to remove from pan. Top with cream and chocolate shavings.
