Tip
Previous tipPlace Puff Pastry shells on ungreased baking sheets with “top” facing up. Place pastry shells about 2 inches apart on baking sheet.
To ensure that Puff Pastry shells will rise evenly, score the sides horizontally with a small knife.
Unfilled baked Puff Pastry shells may be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Always bake Puff Pastry shells in a preheated 425°F oven. Do not bake shells in a microwave or a toaster oven.

Ingredients
-
1 pkg. (6 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate pieces (about 1 cup)
-
6 tbsp. butter (3/4 stick)

1 pint vanilla ice cream

1 pkg. (10 ounces) Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Shells, prepared according to package directions

Place the chocolate and butter in a 1-quart saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the chocolate softens, stirring until the mixture is smooth.

Place a scoop of ice cream in each pastry shell. Spoon the warm chocolate mixture over the ice cream and sprinkle with the nuts. (The chocolate mixture will harden as it cools, making a "chocolate shell".)

Alternate Preparation: To microwave the chocolate sauce, place the chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until chocolate the softens. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
