Provided by Alix Traeger

Categories     Desserts

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips, divided
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup coconut oil
6 ice cream sugar cones
1 gal vanilla ice cream, softened
1 cup chopped peanut

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine ½ cup (85 G) chocolate chips and the heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth, about 1 minute total. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, about 20 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine the remaining chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth, about 1 minute total.
  • Wrap a 9x5-inch (22x12 cm) loaf pan in foil, keeping the foil taut across the top. Set nearby.
  • Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the melted chocolate-coconut oil mixture into a cone, flip upside-down, and spin to coat the inside, letting excess chocolate drip back into the bowl. Poke the cone through the foil to prop upright, and repeat with the remaining cones. Chill in fridge until set, about 2 minutes.
  • Once set, spoon some of the softened ice cream into the cones to fill, and smooth the tops. Place the cones in the freezer for 10 minutes, or until set.
  • Scoop about a teaspoon of the ganache onto a spoon. Fill an ice cream scooper with the ice cream and create a hole in the middle with the end of a spoon. Place the ganache in the hole and place on top of a cone. Repeat with remaining cones.
  • Set the cones on a baking sheet and freeze again for 30 minutes, or until solid.
  • Using the remaining melted chocolate, dip the cones, turning to coat the ice cream.
  • While the chocolate is still wet, quickly dip the cones in the chopped peanuts to coat.

  • Temper the chocolate: Tempering the chocolate will help to stabilize it and prevent it from seizing. This can be done by melting the chocolate slowly and then cooling it down quickly.
  • Use fresh cream: Fresh cream will give your ice cream a richer flavor and creamier texture.
  • Chill your ingredients: Chilling your ingredients before you start making the ice cream will help to ensure that the ice cream freezes evenly.
  • Churn the ice cream for at least 20 minutes: Churning the ice cream for at least 20 minutes will help to incorporate air and give it a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours: Freezing the ice cream for at least 4 hours will help to set it and allow the flavors to develop.
