Koala Nut Ice Cream
1/4 cup mixed nuts 2 pecan walnut muffins 8 scoops vanilla or pecan praline ice cream 2 Mother's brand iced raisin cookies or 2 Nilla brand wafers 4 large chocolate-covered almonds or 4 pecan halves 1/4 cup shredded coconut
The success of this recipe depends on working with the ice cream before it melts.
Chop mixed nuts only and set aside. Cut off the top of a muffin and then slice the remaining muffin in half horizontally. Place one slice on the middle of a dessert plate and set the remaining slice aside for the next koala. Stack two large scoops of ice cream over the muffin slice.
Strategically insert cookies on the sides where the koala's ears would be. Use two large similar-sized pieces of nut as the koala's eyes. Place a large chocolate-covered almond or a pecan half on the ice cream to be the koala's nose. Sprinkle the ice cream koala with shredded coconut; sprinkle the entire plate with chopped nuts and shredded coconut.
Repeat to make three more koalas. Keep in the freezer until ready to be consumed.
Yield: 4 servings
