Best 4 Dipped Ice Cream Cones Recipes

DIPPED ICE CREAM CONES

Steps:

• In a microwave, melt chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip the top of each waffle cone into chocolate, allowing excess to drip off; roll in toppings of your choice. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set.

CHOCOLATE-DIPPED TOFFEE CRUNCH ICE CREAM CONES

Steps:

• Soften ice cream slightly in refrigerator if hard. Using small spoon, gently pack some ice cream into hollow part of each cone. Top each with rounded scoop (about 1/3 cup) of ice cream. Place each cone, ice cream side up, in small glass. Freeze overnight.
• Place chopped Heath Bars on plate. Place chocolate and shortening in medium metal bowl. Set bowl over saucepan of simmering water and stir until melted and smooth. Remove bowl from over water. Let chocolate stand until cool but still liquid, about 5 minutes. Dip ice cream end of 1 cone into chocolate, rotating to coat completely and tilting bowl if necessary. Hold cone until chocolate is almost set, about 10 seconds. Immediately roll dipped portion into Heath Bars, pressing gently to adhere. Return cone to glass and place in freezer. Repeat with remaining cones, chocolate and Heath Bars. (Can be prepared 1 week ahead. Wrap each cone in plastic.) Serve frozen.

CHOCOLATE-DIPPED ICE CREAM CONES WITH PEANUTS

Steps:

• Combine chocolate and oil in a small, microwave-safe bowl. Heat in microwave in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth, stirring occasionally.
• Drizzle 1 Tbsp. chocolate into each cone, tilting and turning cone as you drizzle to evenly coat the inside. Shake cones upside down above bowl to allow excess chocolate to drip back into bowl; set leftover chocolate aside. Stand cones in narrow freezer-safe glasses to hold them upright. Freeze until chocolate is set, about 15 minutes.
• Working one at a time, remove cone from freezer and fill with ice cream, packing gently. Make a rounded scoop at top of cone, pressing down lightly to make sure it is well attached. Set cone back in glass; repeat with remaining cones. Freeze again until firm, at least 30 minutes.
• If reserved chocolate has thickened, briefly reheat in microwave to loosen. Working one at a time, quickly dip ice cream end of cone into chocolate, turning to coat and making sure ice cream is fully covered. Carefully rotate cone, allowing excess chocolate to drip back into bowl. Immediately sprinkle with peanuts and freeze again until chocolate is set, about 10 minutes.

Let stand just until cool, about 10 minutes. Place white chocolate in another small glass bowl; melt in microwave on medium-high, stopping occasionally to stir, about 1 minute.
• Place nuts on plate. Working quickly and tilting bowl of bittersweet chocolate to form deep pool, dip ice cream end of cone into chocolate, turning to coat.
