MINI ICE CREAM COOKIE CUPS


What a yummy trio of sweetness!

I saw these cookie cups on the Pillsbury web page and thought they were adorable... I also was skeptical that they were easy to make and would look like the cookie cup in their photos.

They were soooo easy and came out perfectly! This is a WOW factor dessert...


A WOW factor dessert must be very easy to make, look fabulous and taste delicious.

I served these as a sweet ending to a dinner party on Monday. They were a hit! And they are sooo cute!



Here is a how-to video from Pillsbury ...



It really is that easy!

Instead of using ready to bake cookies I used Pillsbury cookie dough in a tube. I just cut off 1 TBS of dough and put it in the muffin pan!  EASY-PEASY!

I made 3 types of mini ice cream cookie cups...


~chocolate chip cookie cups with hot fudge sauce and chocolate chunk ice cream with whipped cream and shaved chocolate

~sugar cookie cups with chocolate raspberry sauce, vanilla ice cream with whipped cream and a fresh raspberry

~ peanut butter cookie cups with chocolate sauce and peanut butter cup ice cream with whipped cream and shaved chocolate.

I think these cookie cups would taste delicious piled high with chocolate mousse too! 

YUMMY!

    Mmmm, they look so good, Yvonne! I could probably adapt a gluten free cookie mix for the cookie part. So nice to offer different kinds, too. I'll have to print out that recipe. Did you buy the sauces {chocolate, raspberry}?

      The sauce was a homemade gift from a fiend. They use raspberry jam in the video!
