Instructions
Crush six of the cookies in shallow dish; set aside. Scoop ice cream into six balls. Press one cherry into center of each ball; immediately roll in cookie crumbs until evenly coated on all sides.
Place on wax paper-covered baking sheet. Freeze 1 hour or until firm.
Place chocolate, shortening and corn syrup in top of double boiler.
Place over hot (not boiling) water. (Bottom of top pan should not touch boiling water.) Cook until chocolate is melted and mixture is well blended, stirring frequently.
Top each of the six remaining cookies with one ice cream ball, securing ice cream to each cookie with 1 tsp. of the melted chocolate.
Drizzle remaining melted chocolate evenly over ice cream balls; top with sprinkles. Freeze at least 1 hour before serving.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Moscato Dasti, Port
Cream Sherry, Moscato d'Asti, and Port are my top picks for Ice Cream. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. The NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.

NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry
Very aromatic with notes of hazelnut, vanilla, and a touch of oak followed by sweet raisins and a touch of yeast. Clean lasting finish. Good now but will reward those allow it to age"". A favorite pre-prandial beverage. Consider it with nuts before dinner as an aperitif, or after dinner with dessert, especially chocolates and fruit-based desserts. Also wonderful on cold afternoons, served with biscotti to dip in ""Italian-style"". "
