Stuffed Lychees On Skewers

Total Time: 4 hrs 20 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 4 hrs

Ingredients

• 1 (20 ounce) can lychees in heavy syrup
• 1 pint vanilla ice cream
• fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Recipe

• 1 open the can of lychees and reserve the syrup to use for another recipe (great for a cocktail or stir fry sauce).
• 2 make sure the ice cream is very hard; this will make it easier to handle and give you more time to prepare the lychees. with a small spoon, scoop out about 2 teaspoons ice cream and stuff into one lychee as quickly as possible. i find it actually easiest to stuff the ice cream in with my (very clean) fingers. repeat as needed.
• 3 place the stuffed lychees upright in a plastic container, and freeze for at least 4 hours before skewering and serving. it is o.k. to leave them overnight or for a few days in the freezer.
• 4 skewer the lychees, alternating between mint leaves. four to five lychees work best on a skewer. enjoy!
