New Year’s is said to be the most celebrated holiday worldwide, with many cultures and countries establishing their own annual traditions. In the U.S., the Times Square ball drop is widely celebrated and has inspired smaller cities to create spinoff traditions like the annual pickle drop held in Dillsburg, Pennsylvania. You can get into the New Year’s spirit too and make miniature edible snowballs with this recipe for Baked Ice Cream Snowballs adapted from Spoonful.

What you’ll need:
A dozen chocolate or vanilla wafer cookies (you can substitute for thin slices of cake)
Your favorite ice cream
Meringue
3 egg whites
¼ tsp. Cream of Tartar
¼ cup white sugar
½ tsp. vanilla extract
Favorite toppings (sprinkles, nuts, cherries, fudge, etc.)
Instructions:
Crush the cookies into the bottom of small, oven-friendly serving bowls, like ramekins pressing it to the bottom. Fill the bowls with the desired amount of ice cream and level it at the top with a spatula. Cover and place bowls in freezer to chill while preparing the meringue.
Meringue
The meringue will create the snowball look. Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Whip the egg whites in a medium-sized mixing bowl with a blender until they are bubbly. Stir in cream of tartar until it looks like whipped cream. Then stir in the sugar a spoonful at a time and the vanilla extract. Continue mixing for about 2 minutes.
Snowballs
Remove your cookie and ice cream mixture from the freezer and spread the meringue on top, making sure to cover the ice cream entirely. Place the bowls on a cookie sheet and put in the oven for 1 to 3 minutes or until the meringue is golden brown at the tips. Lastly, add toppings and enjoy!
With this recipe you can easily incorporate any of your favorite Cold Cow ice cream flavors. Head over to the online store if you want to have ice cream delivered to you!
