Notes

To prevent the ice cream from melting too quickly, prepare a chilled parchment paper covered plate or baking sheet before forming the ice cream balls. This will help transfer the ice cream balls quickly to the freezer before they melt.
To make the ice cream ball forming process more comfortable, use latex gloves, or work quickly with clean hands and run them under warm water when needed.
The ice cream balls don't need to be perfectly shaped. Roughly shaped ice cream balls are fine. The key is to work quickly to prevent the ice cream from melting.
