Ducky Desserts

[rtebalt]

Make a splash on a rainy day by scooping up a flock of these ice-cream ducklings adapted from The Children’s Party Handbook (Barron’s). They’re delicious, fun to make and take no time at all. Just follow these five easy steps:

RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
Ice cream, flavor of your choice
Chocolate chips or raisins
Orange gumdrop, flattened
Fruit leather or dried apricots

1. First spread out a paper cupcake liner and set it on a small plate or in a bowl.

2. For the body, place a large scoop of vanilla ice cream or lemon sherbet on top of the liner.

3. Create a neck by topping the body with a spoonful of ice cream and use the bowl of the spoon to flatten it slightly. Place a small scoop of ice cream on the neck for the head. Press on chocolate chips or raisins for eyes.

4. For a beak, flatten an orange gumdrop and cut it into two pieces. Or you can simply insert a shelled peanut into the ice cream.

5. Finally, make webbed feet with pieces of fruit leather or dried apricots.
