American Association of Orthodontists has
teamed up with celebrity chef and author Michael Chiarello to
provide this braces-friendly Halloween recipe.
Black
and Orange Bonbons
- 1 quart vanilla ice cream
1/2 cup powdered orange drink
12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, in chunks
- With a small ice cream
scoop or melon baller, scoop balls of vanilla ice cream onto
a cold cookie sheet lined with waxed paper. Place in the freezer
to reset the ice cream balls to firm.
- Put the chocolate in a
microwave safe bowl and microwave at medium until liquid, about
1 1/2 minutes. Stop and stir every 30 seconds until melted, be
careful not to burn it.
- Spread the orange drink
powder onto a large plate. Roll the ice cream balls in the powder
and return them to the cookie sheet. Drizzle the melted chocolate
over the ice cream balls. Return to the freezer until ready to
serve.
Makes 6 servings.
