Ingredients

  • 12 Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers 1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut 2 pints coconut sorbet 12 whole almonds 26 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening

Directions

Set a wire rack over a baking pan. Arrange the wafers, top sides down, on rack, spaced evenly apart. Place 2 teaspoons shredded coconut in the center of each wafer. Using a 2-inch ice-cream scoop, scoop a ball of coconut sorbet onto each wafer. Place an almond on top of each scoop of sorbet. Transfer pan to freezer for 20 minutes.

In a double boiler, or a heat-proof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Melt chocolate and shortening, stirring occasionally. Remove bowl from heat. Let cool slightly.

Remove baking pan from freezer. Generously ladle melted chocolate over the bonbons, covering entirely. Return the baking pan to the freezer for 30 minutes more or overnight. Serve.

Cook’s Notes Melt any excess chocolate that drips onto the baking pan, strain it, and reserve for future use.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/24/2008   countess3ti - I can imagine using any type of sorbet in this recipe. Forget the shredded coconut and use strawberry sorbet, raspberry sorbet. or lemon sorbet - yum! Or, you could use a small amount of the same type of fruit in place of the coconut. How about mint sorbet or pomegranate sorbet? Or even a lovely vanilla or coffee ice cream.
