24 amaretti cookies (4.6 ounces total) or vanilla wafers
⅓ cup peach, strawberry, or other fruit-flavored lowfat or light ice cream

Directions

Step 1

Step 2

Using a melon baller, place a small scoop of ice cream (about 1 rounded teaspoon) on top of chocolate side of half of the coated cookies. Dip the melon baller into water between scoops to make the scoops come out neatly. Top ice cream with another cookie to make a sandwich. Cover and freeze for 1 to 4 hours.
