Almond Coated Ice-Cream Balls are a good standby in the freezer for a quick and delicious dessert. My family adore these after a Bar B Que. Served with a fudge sauce they defy the most fussiest of eaters.

SERVINGS......4-6

INGREDIENTS ....

140 g chopped almonds, toasted
945 ml French vanilla ice cream

HOT FUDGE SAUCE....

1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
110 g semisweet chocolate chips
55 g butter or margarine
240 g confectioners' sugar

METHOD....

Place almonds in a shallow dish. Using an ice cream scoop, shape ice cream into balls. Roll each in almonds until well coated. Place on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet; cover and freeze.

For sauce, combine the milk, chocolate chips and butter in a saucepan. Cook and stir over low heat until melted and smooth. Add sugar; bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Simmer, stirring frequently, for 8-10 minutes or until thickened. Serve hot or cold over ice cream balls.
