Homemade Chocolate-Dipped Ice Cream Cones
Let’s kick off this delightful journey with the mouthwatering visuals of your creation. Here’s a beautiful image of the final product:
Ingredients
- For the ice cream:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- For the chocolate coating:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- For the cones:
- Store-bought ice cream cones or homemade
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. Transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
- While the ice cream is freezing, prepare the chocolate coating. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
- Once the ice cream is firm, scoop it into the cones, filling them generously.
- Dip the tops of the filled cones into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. You can also sprinkle some crushed nuts or sprinkles on top before the chocolate sets, if desired.
- Place the dipped cones upright in a glass or cup and let the chocolate harden for about 10-15 minutes at room temperature or pop them in the freezer for about 5 minutes.
- Serve immediately or store in the freezer for later enjoyment!
Creating your own chocolate-dipped ice cream cones is not only rewarding but also a fun-filled activity for family and friends. Enjoy every creamy, chocolatey bite!
