Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 ounces chocolate chips or chopped chocolate for coating cones
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil for coating cones
- 6 sugar cones
- 48 ounces ice cream any variety
- 14 ounces chocolate chips or chopped chocolate for dipping ice cream cones
- 2 tablespoon coconut oil for dipping ice cream cones
- ½ cup chopped nuts or sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment or wax paper and place it into the freezer.
- Place 2 ounces of chocolate chips in a small bowl and microwave in 30 seconds intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted. Stir in 1 teaspoon of coconut oil until smooth.
- Using about 2 teaspoons of melted chocolate, drizzle the inside of each cone with a bit of the melted chocolate. Use a pastry brush, small spoon, or butter knife to spread the chocolate evenly in the cone. Let the cones sit for a couple minutes to let the chocolate harden fully.
- Working with one cone at a time, fill the sugar cone with ice cream. Top with a scoop of ice cream to form a dome. Immediately place the cone on the parchment paper in the freezer and repeat the process until each cone is filled with ice cream. Freeze until solid, about an hour.
- Place the remaining 14 ounces of chocolate in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30 seconds intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted. Stir in 2 tablespoons of coconut oil until smooth.
- Remove one ice cream cone from the freezer at a time, and working quickly, spoon the melted chocolate over the ice cream to coat or dip to coat. Immediately sprinkle with chopped peanuts or sprinkles, if desired.
- Place the assembled ice cream cone back on lined sheet, grab another cone, and repeat the process. Once the ice cream drumstick cones are assembled, freeze for 30 minute before serving.
- After 30 minutes, serve or place prepared drumstick cones into an airtight freezer-safe container for up to 2 weeks.
