Ingredients

For the "butter" frosting:

Yellow frosting

For the potato ice cream:

1 pint vanilla ice cream
Cocoa Powder (recommended: Hershey's)
Whipped topping (recommended: Cool Whip)
Yellow frosting (recommended: Betty Crocker)
1/4 cup chopped pistachios

For the "butter" frosting:

Directions

Line the inside of a cover of a butter dish with plastic wrap. Fill the cover completely with yellow frosting and freeze until hard. Lift the "butter" out of the cover using the plastic wrap. Cut into squares.

For the potato ice cream:

Have a sheet pan covered with plastic wrap. On 1/2 of the pan, place the pint of ice cream down on its side. Fold the plastic over the ice cream and make a seal.

Using your hands, quickly form the ice cream into a potato shape. Then, create a wedge across the length of the potato. Tightly twist the ends of the plastic wrap and make knots at each end, like a mozzarella ball.

Place the ice cream in the freezer until it hardens, about 20 to 30 minutes.

Remove the ice cream from the freezer, unwrap and dust all over with cocoa powder. Fill the wedge with whipped topping and place a pat of "butter" frosting on top. Sprinkle with pistachios and serve immediately.

I have actually made these.. several times..everyone LOVES them. I have never had anyone say the frozen icing was yucky. I... also add shredded coconut tinted with orange food coloring for cheese and toffee bits for the bacon...always a hit...every time.Read more

The was one of the cutest and most entertaining desserts I've ever served !!! Everybody loved it and my kids ask me to make... it everytime one of their friends comes over because they love to see the expressions on their faces when I tell them we are having baked potatoes for dessert and then I bring this out. I followed the recipe exactly and even though it was a little difficult to get the cocoa powder on the sides without making a mess it was well worth it !! We cant wait for more cute ideas like this one.Read more
