ICE BOWLS

Steps:

• You will also need: 2 nesting bowls, I use the largest I can.
• Place 1/4 cup crushed ice in the bottom of larger bowl.
• Place fruit slice over ice and put another 1/4 cup of ice over that.
• Place nesting bowl inside larger bowl and move to adjust it to the center as closely as you can.
• Put a small bag of frozen peas in smaller bowl.
• Tape the two bowls together in 3 places across the top.
• Add water to level slightly above bottom of inner bowl and freeze.
• Take out of freezer and add more decorations.
• Gently push thin fruit and/or flowers between the bowls.
• Sprinkle crushed ice between bowls to keep in place.
• Add more water and freeze again.
• Keep repeating Steps 8, 9, & 10 until you reach the top.
• After the bowl is frozen solid, remove from freezer and separate ice bowl from two bowls.
• Remove peas and tape and add warm water to smaller bowl, swirling around until bowl is lose enough to lift out.
• Remove smaller bowl and refreeze.
• When frozen solid again, remove bottom bowl in a similar fashion.
• When ice bowl is free, place back in freezer on top of plastic cling wrap, and cover lightly to protect.
• Let bowl freeze overnight or at least an hour before using.
• Place ice cream scoops for people to serve themselves, but keep in freezer until last minute to serve.
• Place bowl on "skid free" mat in a tray with a lip.
• Let guests serve themselves.

FLOWER ICE BOWLS

Steps:

• Fill a metal or ceramic bowl 3/4 full with water and the flower petals.
• Place a smaller bowl inside the first bowl and anchor with duct tape to keep it centered.
• Freeze bowls overnight.
• When ready to serve, remove duct tape and the small bowl.
• If you happen to have a blow torch, flash the larger bowl to release the finished ice bowl-- but don't worry, room temperature will release the bowl in 10-15 minutes.
• Fill with something colorful and yummy and serve!

COOKIES IN A BOWL (WITH ICE CREAM)

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder until combined. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and brown sugar until just combined, scraping down the bottom and sides as needed. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and beat to incorporate. Add the flour mixture and mix slowly until just barely combined. Mix in the chocolate chips. Scoop out a slightly-heaping, 1/2-cup scoop of dough and place on a prepared baking sheet. Lightly press the dough to flatten into the shape of a hockey puck. Repeat with the remaining dough, placing 6 cookies on each baking sheet and making sure to evenly space apart. Sprinkle the tops with flakey salt. At this point, you can bake or freeze.
• Bake the cookies until golden brown around the edges and lightly browned on top, 15 to 20 minutes. (If baking from frozen, begin checking at 20 minutes.)
• While still warm, put a cookie in a bowl. Top with a scoop of ice cream, hot fudge, sprinkles and a cherry.

EDIBLE CEREAL TREAT BOWLS FOR ICE CREAM SUNDAES

Steps:

• Spray the insides of the larger bowls from 2 sets of nesting small cereal bowls with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Stir in the cereal and coat thoroughly in the marshmallows. Transfer the cereal mixture to a large bowl to cool slightly until you can handle it. The mixture should still be warm.
• Spray your hands with cooking spray and work the cereal treat into the prepared cereal bowls. Spray the bottoms of the 2 smaller bowls and press into the cereal treat mixture to form bowls. Allow the cereal treats to cool to room temperature and harden.
• Once cooled, unmold the bowls, add your favorite ice cream and toppings and enjoy!
