Notes
Pro-Tips:
- Let ice cream soften for at least 10 minutes. This will make it spread a lot easier!
- Be sure to line the pan with plastic wrap, it will make it much easier to remove from the pan.
- Before you wrap and put in the freezer, Place in the freezer UNCOVERED for about 5 minutes to quickly harden the shell and ice cream a bit. This will make sure the candy shell coating will not stick to the plastic wrap.
- Run knife under hot water before you are slicing it (this makes it slice easier)!
