1. Lay out all the puris on a tray(s) that is lined with parchment/wax paper or foil. Poke holes in each puri. Tray should be able to fit in the freezer.
2. Melt semi sweet chocolate chips (guittard chips are good) in a microwavable bowl, 30 seconds at a time. Do not overheat chocolate as it will burn. One bag of chips is good for 30 puris. I usually melt 1/3 of the chocolate chips at a time, roll/dip ~10 puris with a spoon, and then do the next batch, because the chocolate hardens quickly after melting so you need to roll quickly. Guittard also makes dairy free chips. You can also try sugar free chips.
3. Roll each puri in the melted chocolate and place back on tray. Make sure they are not touching each other or they will freeze together.
4. Place tray in freezer. It only takes 5 minutes to harden.
5. While puris are in freezer, prepare candied pecans. Crush pecans (can use a nut chopper). Melt a little butter and brown sugar on low in a pan and saute crushed pecans until coated for a minute. Do not saute too long or they will burn. Alternatively, can use honey (or sweetener of your choice) and oil for sugar free and dairy free.
6. Once the puris are frozen, fill each puri with 3/4 tsp of candied pecans. Put back in freezer if not serving immediately.
7. Take puris out of freezer prior to serving. Puris can stay out for a little bit if weather is not hot. Otherwise serve immediately as the chocolate can melt. Full puri with spoon of ice cream (vanilla is classic!) and eat immediately. Alternatively can present puris on shot glasses of melted vanilla ice cream.. it looks great but frozen ice cream tastes better.
Puris will taste great out of the freezer even a week later (covered), but ideally make this closer to serving day/time.
