• Pour boiling water into the blender and blend until smooth and cheese is melted.
• Add remaining ingredients in order listed then mix.
• Pour sauce into 8 ½ “ x 4 ½ “ loaf pan or aluminum ice cube tray.
• Freeze until consistency of ice cream.
• Cut into 16 one-inch cubes; remove to chilled tray.
