Purim is the perfect excuse to get a little creative with food, and this clown ice cream is one of the simplest, most adorable treats you can pull together for your kids (and adults!). A scoop of ice cream, a cone for a hat, two blue lentils for eyes, and a red sour stick smile. That's literally it. The kids will be obsessed.
A round scoop of vanilla ice cream
A small pointed ice cream cone,
2 blue lentils,
A thin red sour stick.
Scoop a round ball of ice cream onto a plate and work quickly before it melts! Balance the pointed cone on top as the clown's hat, press in two blue lentils for eyes, then bend a red sour stick into a curve and press it in below for the smile. And just like that, your clown is grinning.
Making these for a crowd? Set up a little decorating station with all the toppings and let the kids build their own clowns. It keeps them busy, it's (relatively) mess-free, and everyone ends up with their own unique creation. Total win.

Purim Sameach!
