I made this using Tang. It tastes like a creamsicle bon bon with a 'tang'iness similar to pixie stix candy. These little treats are very unique. Definitely a tasty conversation piece.

I love this ultra simple yet elegant idea for dessert. It looks so pretty and taste so good. I made this as part of a tapas style dinner I made for my BF. Out of all the dishes, he thought this dessert was THE BEST. I loved them too... I used a good quality vanilla bean ice cream and think that really made the bon bons taste gourmet. Thanks for aharing!
