Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
