Snowballs in June? Why not! These are fun to make and probably the easiest recipe we’ve ever featured here on the Ice Cream Journal. Ready? Here it is:
DIRECTIONS
1. Scoop 1 to 1 1/2 inch balls of ice cream, using your favorite flavor
2. Roll ice cream ball in your choice of topping, place in a mini-muffin wrapper and place in freezer.
That’s it! Easy, right? Feel free to use any of the following toppings to roll your ice cream balls in. If anyone has any other ideas for toppings, let us know with a comment.
- Crushed cereal (Fruity Pebbles or Fruit Loops make a colorful snowball)
- Mini-chocolate chips
- Chopped walnuts, peanuts or any other kind of nuts
- Shredded coconut
- Sprinkles (aka “jimmies”)
- Crushed candies (toffee bars and Butterfinger bars are good)
- Brown sugar
- Shredded white chocolate
- Melted chocolate

I’m going through ice cream…jus bought 2 gallons recently at the Turkey Hill Convenience Store on Hershey Avenue, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania
Got my favoriate, chocolate, and then, my second favorite, Vanilla, but only cuz I also bought Hershey’s Hot Fudge syrup to pour over it?
Right now, that’s sort of all that’s in my freezer, I threw food out while ago?
Can’t wait till I get hungry for it? I’m ready to enjoy ice cream! Got a small pizza today? From “Metro” pizza? I like pizza n ice cream parties, I guess? Sometimes? Thanks for illuminating my world. I love to look over all the different types of ice cream available, I did purchase that Party Cake, or whatever, flavor, but then, never got to try it, cuz I threw all the food in my freezer out weeks ago? Will prolly get it again and try again in future?
Guess what! I think I found my ice cream sundae glasses, were in the basement? I forget what I did with them now, maybe I put them in my kitchen cabinet? If my 11-year old son ever visits me again, maybe I can at least make him a good hot fudge sundae
Nutty…I don’t really like peanus though, sort of…like peanut butter?
Oh well, thanks for always being here. I told Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI in a handwritten letter sent to the Vatican that I really wanna purchase Turkey Hill stock? Don’t know when I’ll get around to askin ya’s if you trade publicly?
Whatever
?
Love you guys! Thanks for the recipe, maybe I’ll get a chance to make them someday, even if I’m 70, by the time I get around to it? Still good to know, love recipes?
Oh well, thank you!
Carolina! From Lancasta, Pennsylvania, America, as always!
XXX OOO
Seems like a party food that would have to be served right away. Kids wouldnt appreciate it. Adults might, but if it was at a barbecue, would probably melt before served.
Hi Turkey Hill fans,
I have a recipe what that one too, but I rolls my ice cream balls into cookies crumbs, then dip them in ice cream topping or sauce, them roll them into cookies cumbs again and freeze them. I make my ice crams from large to tiny ice cream balls.
too much work-just eat that great ice cream out of the carton-unless someone wants to make it for me? Brenda’s idea sounds extra yummy-maybe Turkey Hill should package those….
So so pretty. Tint that coconut first, and roll, baby, roll!
Hi, My topping for making the ice cream balls – bake a cake of your choice to compliment the flavor of your ice cream. Chocolate with vanilla, etc. When the cake has cooked shred it with a fork and roll the ice cream balls in it. Freeze. Serve with hot fudge, hot carmel, etc. Very good.
I like to make the ice cream balls when I got company for dinner. They are a nice dessert after a meal, so pretty. The party cakes are delicious, little pricey, but worth it. Linda
Thanks for the recipe…I have not tried ice cream balls but hopefully will try it soon. All the toppings sound delicious….I used to get fried ice cream when we lived in Atlanta but then again it wasn’t Turkey Hill ice cream. Just bought my daughter Chocolate Peanut Butter but, of course, I had to try it and now I am hooked! Thanks Turkey Hill.
with the weather we’ve had lately,we could have REAL snowballs.
this sounds so delicious and easy, I really like the idea of the crushed colorful cereal
This is a great idea. You could make the ice cream balls any size you wanted. I wonder if you coated the ice cream with melted chocolate and froze it would it turn out to be like a piece of candy when the chocolate got hard. The only way to find out is do it. That’s my task for tonight.
I have made these! They are always a hit at parties! Be careful though, you can eat way more than a ’suggested serving size’ because they are that good!
Ice Cream Snowballs sound oh so good and easy to make. The list of toppings is endless. I’m going to pass this recipe on to my friends so they can enjoy them too!!!!!!
Thanks for a great summer dessert idea!!
im going to try it now
They sound delicious! I can’t wait to try them!
I know they will be my favorite kind of snowballs. The kind you can eat anytime!
something so simple, i am sure that our grandchildren will love these.
My husband will love the idea of all the different toppings and our grandchildren will enjoy making the scoops for him!
Can;t wait to make these. Thanks for the idea. I know the grandkids will love them!!!!!
These are sooooo cute and so easy to make! They’re an excellent party-popper, and your guests will think you spent HOURS making them!
I like to put a good amount of Icecrean in between two cookies of your choice and roll them in sprinkles or choclate chips. I make my own flying saucers. Delicious.
These would be awesome for a kids’ party or a barbecue. It is good portion control too. I love this idea!
My kids are going to love making and eating these!
With 4 grandkids ages 2 to 8, I know we’ll be making the snowballs. They will love eating it and making them.
I think we’ll try chocolate and vanilla bean and use sprinkles for the outside. Sounds so good…HSING
What a great idea!
These look great! It’s summertime!
Bring on the ice cream!
Well Turkey like all your other icecream you did a great job!!!!!
Very simple but delic!
I’m wondering how these would be rolled in grapenuts (great crunch) or cocoa powder (may be too messy). Can’t wait to try!
Fun idea – will be great for a summer party. They’ll be a hit!
Never thought of making those before. Simple yet original.
I bet That would be good also with whole espresso beans.
Hey, what a fun idea! Now I can make my own bon-bons.
Try crushed pretzels … best ice cream topping EVER
I have looked all over for Southern lemon pie Can’t find it in any of the stores I was soooo disappointed that I bought two of the new dynamic Duos they are VERY good!!
Thank you for sharing this.certification
cant get enough!!!
I wish you could put flavor in without the pecans in butter pecan.
I would like to see a “No Sugar Added” Neopolitan variety of Turkey Hill ice cream. I believe that many people would buy it since our society is trying to be more health conscious – watching fat,calories, carbs and sugar intakes. My favorite flavor is Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup!
I love Turkey Hill Ice Cream, especially vanilla. I use it to make my Pina Colada Semifreddo
