Chocolate Dipped Ice Cream Cones

Chocolate dipped ice cream cones
Chocolate dipped cones turn ordinary ice cream into a fun dessert kids love decorating. Dip cones into melted chocolate and add sprinkles, crushed cookies, or candies for colorful frozen treats perfect for summer parties and family dessert nights.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate pieces
  • Ice cream cones
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon melted shortening if needed
  • Optional toppings: crushed Oreos, sprinkles, candy pieces, chopped nuts, or coconut
  • Ice cream for serving

Directions

Place the chocolate pieces into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 70% power or medium-high heat for 1 minute. Stir well and continue microwaving in short intervals for 1 to 3 minutes until the chocolate becomes smooth and melted.

Dip each ice cream cone into the melted chocolate about one-third of the way up the cone. If the chocolate seems too thick, stir in 1 teaspoon of melted shortening to thin it slightly.

Immediately sprinkle the dipped chocolate with crushed Oreos, sprinkles, candy pieces, or other toppings while the chocolate is still wet. Place the cones upside down on wax paper until the chocolate hardens.

Once set, fill the cones with scoops of ice cream and serve immediately.
Yield: Depends on number of cones prepared.

Kid Cooking Tip

Kids can decorate the cones with sprinkles, crushed cookies, candies, and colorful toppings.

Variation Ideas

Try white chocolate, peanut butter chips, caramel drizzle, mini chocolate chips, or holiday-colored sprinkles.

Serving Ideas

Serve for birthday parties, summer cookouts, ice cream bars, sleepovers, or fun family dessert nights.
Fun Dessert Idea: Set up a topping station so kids can create their own custom dipped ice cream cones.
