Line 2 large plates with non-stick baking paper. Place 1 plate in the freezer to chill.

Dip a melon baller in a bowl of hot water and use to scoop out 1 ball of ice-cream. Place on the chilled plate. Insert a toothpick into the centre of the ice-cream ball. Repeat to make 5 more ice-cream balls. Place in the freezer for 2 hours or until very firm.
