It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

ingredients
3 cups vanilla ice cream
1 cup chopped pecans, toasted and cooled
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2/3 cup whipping cream
2/3 cup light corn syrup
1 tablespoon creme de cacao
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 pecan halves
directions
Scoop ice cream into balls, about 3/4 cup each (one per serving). Place in a small baking pan. Freeze about 1 hour or until firm.
Place toasted pecans in a pie plate. Roll each frozen ice cream ball in the pecans. Return coated ice cream balls to pan and freeze about 1 hour more or until firm.
For Sauce: In a small heavy saucepan, combine chocolate and butter. Cook and stir over very low heat just until melted. Stir in whipping cream and corn syrup. Cook and stir over medium-low heat about 3 minutes or just until the mixture boils around edges.
Remove from heat. Stir in the creme de cacao and vanilla. Cover and cool to room temperature.
To serve, place ice cream balls in individual chilled dessert dishes. Spoon some of the sauce over each ice cream ball. If you like, garnish each serving with a pecan half.
