Step-by-step
- Allow the ice cream to soften enough to scoop easily.
- 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.
- Combine the biscuits with the toasted almonds. Roll each ice cream ball in the dry mixture then dip in the melted chocolate.
- Return the truffles to the freezer until ready to serve.
