Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°. Grease 24 mini-muffin cups. Stand ice cream cones in additional mini-muffin cups.

CHOCOLATE-DIPPED ICE CREAM CONE
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.
CHOCOLATE-DIPPED ICE CREAM CONES
When you're hanging by the pool with no ice cream truck in sight, cool off with our homemade, customizable version of a classic: an ice cream cone with a crunchy chocolate shell (and cone inner coating) studded with toppings. Coconut oil helps the shell harden quickly, but you can use shortening if coconut isn't your thing. Our favorite combos to try: strawberry ice cream with pistachios, coconut ice cream with toasted coconut and salted caramel gelato with a sprinkle of sea salt. For a nice serving presentation, cover your cone holder in decorative wrapping paper (click the Photos tab for our step-by-step guide).

Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality ice cream that is firm enough to hold its shape. Softened ice cream will melt too quickly and make the cupcakes difficult to handle.
- If you don't have an ice cream scoop, you can use a spoon to scoop the ice cream into the cupcake liners. Just be sure to pack the ice cream in tightly so that it doesn't fall apart when you dip it in the chocolate.
- To make the chocolate coating, you can use either semisweet or bittersweet chocolate. If you use semisweet chocolate, you may want to add a little bit of sugar to the melted chocolate to make it sweeter.
- To decorate the cupcakes, you can use any type of sprinkles, candy, or nuts that you like. Just be sure to add the decorations before the chocolate coating has completely hardened.
- These cupcakes can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. When you're ready to serve them, let them thaw at room temperature for about 15 minutes before enjoying.
Conclusion:
Chocolate-dipped ice cream cone cupcakes are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a fun and unique dessert, give these cupcakes a try!
