Frozen Cappuccino Cups

I love PW. This recipe comes from her website and it is amazing. I love dessert, but since trying to lose weight, I have tried to do more individual servings, so I don't go crazy. It also helps that I love cappuccino ice cream! Enjoy. This will be a great summer dessert as well! I am so ready for a few weeks off of teaching :)!

Frozen Cappuccino Cups

Ingredients
15 whole Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
2 Tablespoons Melted Butter
2 ounces, weight Semi Sweet Chocolate, Chopped Into Chunks
1 pint Coffee Ice Cream, Slightly Softened
½ teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
⅛ teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
TOPPINGS:
Extra Chocolate Cookie Crumbs
Finely Chopped Pecans
Chocolate Sauce
Sweetened Whipped Cream
Chocolate Curls

Preparation Instructions:

Place twelve cupcake liners into muffin cups.
Crush cookies into crumbs. Add melted butter, then mix to combine. Press crumbs into twelve cupcake liners. Set aside.
Mix softened ice cream with chocolate chunks, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Spoon into cupcake liners. Freeze until firm, then remove from muffin pan (leaving on the cupcake liners) and place in a Ziploc or other airtight container.
To serve, peel off liners, place on a plate, and top with any or all of the toppings. You can also just serve them in the liners.
(Alternately, you can press nuts and/or crumbs into the top of the cups before freezing them.)


Some notes:
* After you freeze the cups in the muffin pans and they’re nice and firm, you can remove them from the pan and store them in Ziplocs or any airtight container. Then just remove them as you need them.
* You can add the toppings (crumbs, nuts, hot fudge, etc.) before the first freezing if you want them to freeze on top of the cups. Just lightly press them into the top so they’ll set a little easier.
* Alternately, you can just freeze the cups untopped, then top them when you’re serving them.
* IMPORTANT: If you meet with some resistance when you peel off the paper liner, just wait a couple of minutes, then try again. Sometimes they just have to slightly soften before the liner easily peels off. (Or you can just eat them straight out of the liners.)

Have fun with these! And make dozens of them if you want. It’s nice to have them in the freezer when you need something sweet and yummy.
