Scoop 6 balls of ice cream onto a parchment paper lined plate.

Cover with plastic wrap and place in the freezer until firm, about 6-7 hours.

In a medium bowl, add chocolate chips and vegetable shortening.

Make a double boiler by placing the bowl on top of a saucepan filled with 1 inch of water.

Bring to a simmer over medium low heat and stir until melted.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Now the fun part- hold each ice cream ball with a fork over the bowl of chocolate and spoon chocolate over the top to cover.

Hold over a plate and add some sprinkles then set back on the parchment lined plate.

Repeat with remaining ice cream then place back in the freezer until ready to serve.
