Haagen-Dazs Vanilla Bean Coconut Snowman!

Ice-cream in my opinion tastes amazing year around & what better way to be creative with food then by making your own edible Frosty the Snowman? You can use any high quality vanilla ice-cream. I chose Haagen-Dazs Vanilla Bean variety for the base, fluffy coconut to roll it in, and used Wilton Sprinkles the Rainbow Chip Crunch for the eyes, mouth & buttons, Sunny Seeds for the nose, Mint Oreo Fudge Cremes for the hat & Krafts Jet-Puffed Caramel/Vanilla Swirled Marshmallows for the top of the hat. Have fun with it & be as creative as you like! :)

Ingredients:
1 pint of good quality ice cream- select a larger size if wanting to make more than 3 snowmen
Jar of Wilton Rainbow Chip Crunch Sprinkles (black color) for eyes, mouth & buttons
Sunny Seeds-Chocolate Covered Sunflower seeds (orange) for nose
Package of Mint Oreo Fudge Creme cookies for hat
Package of fluffy coconut to roll ice cream in
Krafts Jet-Puffed Caramel/Vanilla Swirled Marshmallows for top of hat
3 various sized ice cream scoops to make snowman base

DIRECTIONS

1. STEP 1

   Line a baking pan that fits in your freezer with parchment paper. Scoop the vanilla ice cream rounding scoops as much as possible, until you have each size, and place on the prepared baking pan. Place the pan in the freezer to harden for 15 minutes.

2. STEP 2

   Remove the ice cream from the freezer, and roll in coconut.  Return to pan, then return the pan to the freezer. Remove 1 small scoop of ice cream at a time from the freezer, and make faces using sprinkles for eyes and mouth and sunny seeds for the nose. Return to freezer until ready to serve.

3. STEP 3

   Remove middle-size scoops from the freezer one at a time; place black sprinkles in a row down the front to create buttons. Remove remaining scoops from freezer, and stack to create snowmen, pressing slightly to adhere. Return snowmen to freezer.

Take snowmen out of freezer, & plate it on a plate of choice. Toast the marshmallow place on top of the mint Oreo, grab a spoon and enjoy!
