CHOCOLATE-DIPPED ICE CREAM CONE

Categories     dessert

Time 50m

Yield 8 cones

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped into small pieces
1/4 cup coconut oil or vegetable shortening
Kosher salt
8 small sugar cones
2 pints of your favorite ice cream
1/4 cup chopped nuts, toasted coconut or other topping

Steps:

  • Make a cone holder: Find a small, sturdy, clean box that will fit in your freezer. Turn it over, and cut eight X's about 2 inches apart with a sharp knife. Open up each X with your fingers so it will securely hold an ice cream cone upright.
  • Cook the chocolate, coconut oil and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula, until melted, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.
  • Pour about 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate into a sugar cone, and swirl to completely coat the inside. Pour any excess chocolate back into the bowl. Place the cone in the cone holder. Repeat with the 7 remaining cones. Freeze the cones to set the chocolate, about 10 minutes.
  • Fill each cone to the top with ice cream, and top with an additional 1/3-cup scoop. Return the cones to the cone holder, and freeze to harden the ice cream, about 30 minutes.
  • Dip the cones: Put your desired topping in a small bowl. If the remaining chocolate starts to solidify, heat it in the microwave in 10-second increments, stirring in between, until it is fluid again. Dip each top scoop of ice cream in the chocolate to mostly cover it, leaving a little bit exposed. Let any excess chocolate drip off, then immediately dip the top scoop in the topping. Work quickly, as the chocolate shell sets in seconds.
  • Serve the cones immediately, or put them in the freezer until ready to serve. To freeze individually (for up to 2 weeks), roll the cone up in a large triangle of wax paper and tape closed.

Tips for Making the Best Chocolate Dipped Ice Cream Cone

  • Use high-quality ice cream. The better the ice cream, the better the dipped cone will be.
  • Make sure the ice cream is firm before dipping it in the chocolate. If the ice cream is too soft, it will melt and make a mess.
  • Use a good quality chocolate for dipping. A good chocolate will have a smooth, rich flavor.
  • Temper the chocolate before dipping the ice cream cones. Tempering chocolate helps to give it a smooth, shiny finish.
  • Dip the ice cream cones in the chocolate quickly and evenly. Do not let the chocolate sit on the ice cream for too long, or it will start to melt.
  • Place the dipped ice cream cones on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and let them set completely before serving.
