Quick Ice Cream Treat

Quick and easy, this took just few minutes to put together.  We had some lemon drop ice cream and some chocolate malt ice cream from Publix just hanging around in the freezer.  I wanted a cute way to disguise the fact that we were each getting a tablespoon and a half of each flavor. 

• First, I squeezed out a bit of no sugar added caramel topping on the plate.
• Then, I dipped a tablespoon in hot hot water and scooped the ice cream towards me scraping at an angle as I went.  This allowed the ice cream to curl around itself inside of the tablespoon.
• I dipped the spoon back into the hot water between flavors.
• Finally, I cut a piece of lemon, twisted it, and stuck between the two flavors.

Reflections:  I could have simply stuck two scoops in a bowl but it wouldn't have looked like much and as we are limiting our calories, I knew that would lead to me adding more than we needed.  The lemon piece was a last minute inspiration but it added a great balance to the sweet caramel sauce.  This would also be great with a berry sauce and a few fresh berries added.
