with Noona’s Toasted Rice Ice Cream
By: Jessica Delph
The beginning of the year usually has my schedule pretty packed. With resolutions to uphold, birthdays to remember and holidays to celebrate. And with that, comes a few annual rituals that lead to quality time with loved ones. An opportunity for us to connect with one another. Of those family rituals, for some this includes cooking together, sharing a meal together, or watching holiday films.
With this recipe I wanted to connect two of my favorite bonding pastimes. That is movie viewing and eating; popcorn and ice cream more specifically. This recipe is super simple and includes two of my favorite things: popcorn and ice cream. I went through a phase where I could not tolerate getting small pieces of popcorn stuck in my teeth, and have found myself planted in the “I love you” popcorn section. No matter where you are on the spectrum, this recipe is perfect for you.
Lets go!
Tools
a blender, nutribullet will work perfectly
Ingredients
1 container of pre popped popcorn, like Smartfood caramel flavor
2-3 scoops of Noona’s Toasted Rice Ice Cream
5oz of chocolate chips to drizzle on top(or chocolate syrup)
How To Do It
With your popcorn, blend about 1 cup of it until it looks like snow. This takes about 30 seconds to a minute. Reserve it in a bowl
Microwave chocolate chips until melted. Melt it in 30 second bursts until uniform, then set aside.
Then, scoop as many or as little Toasted Rice Ice Cream into a serving bowl
Sprinkle your popcorn snow all over the ice cream, we used a brand called Cinema Popcorn found in our local Hmart. The flavor is strawberry and butter salt but any flavored popcorn will be great,
Lastly, drizzle chocolate all over snow!
Dig in and enjoy!
Pro-Tip: For some extra texture and fun, add some leftover whole popcorn to your bowl! It is highly recommend.
