What happens when you cover delicious homemade ice-cream with fluffy cotton candy? You have a cold fluffy ball you can pop straight in your mouth.

You will need:

A scoop of your favorite ice-cream

6 tablespoons granulated sugar (or pink cotton-candy sugar)

1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise

Directions:

Mix the sugar and vanilla bean in a bowl; set aside about 30 minutes.

Preheat a cotton-candy machine according to the manufacturer’s instructions, at least 5 minutes. Turn off the cotton-candy machine, pour the sugar mixture into the center and turn on the machine. When it starts to spin cotton candy, hold the ice-cream ball on a stick in the middle, perpendicular to the machine, and move it around the edges to accumulate the cotton candy around your ball.
