Step-by-step

  1. Allow the ice cream to soften enough to scoop easily.
  2. Using a small ice cream scoop or large melon baller, ball the ice cream and place on a metal baking tray. Put the tray in the freezer until the ice cream is frozen solid.
  3. Combine the biscuits with the toasted almonds. Roll each ice cream ball in the dry mixture then dip in the melted chocolate.
  4. Return the truffles to the freezer until ready to serve.
