How to Make Edible Chocolate Bowls for Ice Cream that Satisfy

Making Ice Cream on a lazy Sunday afternoon is always a task that I love, especially when I have the ingredients on hand and loathe buying Ice Cream. This is why I love Christmas so much, as I get to eat as much Chocolate and Ice Cream as I desire!

Especially if it’s Ben and Jerry’s Satisfy My Bowl Ice Cream in a tip of the Hat and fitting tribute on Bob Marley’s 70^th Birthday and the 30^th Anniversary of his album Legend as described in my blog article entitled “Ben and Jerry's Bob Marley-themed Satisfy My Bowl Ice Cream flavour - 30th Anniversary Tribute to Bob Marley's Legend for his 1Love Foundation”.

My version of Chocolate Ice Cream Glows-in-the-Dark and is made thanks to the wonder of the US$25.95 Zoku Ice Cream Bowl as described in my blog article entitled “How to make Glow-In-The Dark Ice Cream from Scratch - US$25.95 Zoku Ice Cream Bowl makes Avatar The Last Airbender Frozen Novelties”.

But ever so often, when I do buy Ice Cream in Swallowfield, I usually opt to buy a JA$200 Tub of Ice Cream and with some extra-large Chocolate Chip Cookies, make some Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwich, a Sunday Favourite as detailed in my blog article entitled “How Singles Cook on a Budget - Vegetable Ring Fried Eggs, Bacon in a Pancake Blanket and Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwich”.

One thing I hate though it the fact that after eating Ice Cream in Swallowfield where I live near to the National Stadium and even when I’m back home in Milk River, Clarendon, is the fact that I have to clean up. I mean, not the Zoku Ice Cream Bowl, as that’s to make the Ice Cream. Rather, I’m referring to the Bowl and plates that I have to wash up after whipping up a good batch of Ice Cream.

So why not make the Bowls edible? Folks, hang tight, ‘cause if you’re a true chocoholic and you loved my Glow-in-The-Dark Iced Coffee Chocolate Milk as described in my blog article entitled “How to Make Glow-in-The-Dark Iced Coffee Chocolate Milk – How Coffee can be made healthy for Children”, then you’re gonna love this my latest DIY (Do It Yourself) that’ll be a hit for Christmas 2014.
