To find the number of bowls of ice cream that can be made and the total profit, we can perform the following calculations:

1. **Calculating the number of bowls:**
We have \( \frac{3}{4} \) of a gallon of ice cream, and each bowl contains \( \frac{1}{16} \) of a gallon.

To find the number of bowls, divide the total ice cream by the amount in each bowl:

\[
\text{Number of bowls} = \frac{\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{1}{16}} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{16}{1} = 12
\]

2. **Calculating the total profit:**
Each bowl generates a profit of $0.35. Therefore, the total profit can be calculated by multiplying the profit per bowl by the number of bowls:

\[
\text{Total profit} = 12 \times 0.35 = 4.20
\]

**Final Answers:**
- The ice cream can be split into **12** bowls.
- The total profit made from the bowls of ice cream is **$4.20**.
