Cooking Thursday

Before summer is completely done, I want to share one more ice cream dessert with you.  I had forgotten about this one until my daughter reminded me of it, so I thought I should make it again. When Andy was little, he called basketballs "boop balls".  This dessert is decorated with malted milk balls so he called it Boop Ball Dessert, and we still call it that.  :)
If you like chocolate malts, you'll like this one.

1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream, softened
12 ounces crushed malted milk balls
Stir together and spread over crust. Freeze.
