• Ready In: 40 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1  pint vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
• 2  cups unsweetened dried shredded coconut
• 1⁄2 cup honey

Directions

1. About 30 minutes before serving, freeze scoops of ice cream shaped into balls. Scoop out 4 portions, placing each scoop on a cookie sheet with about 2 inches between them. Put the sheet of ice cream scoops in the freezer. (Before you do, make sure there's enough room in the freezer).
2. Meanwhile, toast the coconut: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place a thin layer of the coconut on a cookie sheet and toast it in the oven. Toast about 10 minutes or until it begins to turn light brown. Spread the coconut in a shallow bowl.
3. When ready to serve the ice cream, lift off the snowballs with a large spoon and roll each, one at a time, in the toasted coconut. Arrange on a small cookie sheet and freeze again about 10 minutes or more to resolidify.
4. Place 1 snowball in each serving bowl. Drizzle with honey. Serve at once.
