Ingredients:
1 cup water
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
5 eggs, room temperature
1 1/2 quart ice cream, any flavor
Instructions:
Place the water in a saucepan over high heat. Bring the water to a quick boil. Place the butter in the boiling water. When the butter has completely melted add the flour and stir. Do this quickly so the dough forms in a ball. Place the dough ball in a large mixing bowl. Add one egg at a time. After each egg beat with a mixture on medium speed until the egg is completely blended in. Using two spoons place mounds of the dough onto a cookie sheet sprayed with a non stick cooking spray. Set the oven temperature on 350 degrees. Bake the mounds 35 minutes or until a light golden brown. Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack where they can cool completely. When the mounds have cooled use a sharp knife to cut three quarter of the way through each mound. Fill the mound with the ice cream. Be sure the ice cream is firm when you do this. Place the mound on a piece of aluminum foil and then wrap the mound tightly. Continue until all the mounds are filled and wrapped. Place the wrapped mounds in the freezer until the ice cream if very firm again at least 2 hours. Serve the ice cream mounds immediately after removing from the freezer.
