Ice cream mounds coated in cookie bits are a simple, yet fabulous way to woo your dinner guests. They’ll think you’ve emerged fresh from the 1950s, a hostess refining every glittering detail. A strand of pearls, vintage dress, and heels are your choice, of course, but you might just be tempted to don the full attire when serving up these delicious two-minute cookie coated ice cream mounds. 
All you need are a blender, cookies, and ice cream on hand, to have dessert prepped and ready in no time! I saw Jamie Oliver whip up this scrumptious dinner including similarly coated ice cream balls and was thoroughly inspired. I’ve further simplified the dessert to make it even faster and less-fuss than Jamie’s version.

Oh my! I know what I will be making for dessert tomorrow night. It looks so simple too. I think you should swing by my blog to link these up. Yummy!

So simple too! Can you go wrong with that 🙂
WOW, would have never thought of that, looks YUMMY! Cookies and icecream love it!
Oh yum! I just want to make a few for myself right now, but here would be my choice of icecream/cookies: mint chocolate icecream covered with Oreo crumbs. If you had a melon scoop you could make really cute mini ones. I will definitely be trying this soon.
I’d say that mint chocolate Oreo would be a huge hit! My husband would absolutely go crazy for those. The idea of minis really floats my boat too. It would take a pinch more time to prep, but what’s an extra 2 mintutes, right? Thanks so much for your great suggestions, Taara!
What a brilliant dessert. So easy and looks so impressive. I loved your visual of being transported to a 1950s housewife while making these.
These look great! such a simple idea, but one I’ve never heard of before. Thanks for the great idea. Gail (BibleLoveNotes)
