Oven-Roasted Almond Snowballs with Ice Cream Delight

Ingredients

- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup whole almonds
- 1/2 cup mixed tree nuts (e.g., walnuts, pecans)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare the Nuts:
- Spread 1 cup of almonds and 1/2 cup of mixed tree nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Oven roast the nuts for about 10 minutes, or until they are golden and aromatic. Stir them halfway through to ensure even roasting.
- Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly, then roughly chop them.

3. Make the Egg Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, crack 2 large eggs.
- Add 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and whisk until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.

4. Combine Ingredients:
- Gently fold the roasted and chopped nuts into the egg and sugar mixture.
- Ensure all nuts are well-coated.

5. Shape the Snowballs:
- Using a spoon, scoop out small portions of the nut mixture and roll into balls approximately 1 inch in diameter.
- Place the formed balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each.

6. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the snowballs are lightly golden on the outside.
- Remove the snowballs from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet.

7. Serve with Ice Cream:
- Serve the cooled almond snowballs alongside a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. Plate them beautifully for a delightful snack experience.
