Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pint low-fat vanilla ice cream
- 8 pieces sugar cones
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts
- 0.25 cup sprinkles
Instructions
Place a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in the freezer to chill. This will help set the chocolate more quickly.
Scoop the low-fat vanilla ice cream into each of the sugar cones, smoothing the top to create a nice dome shape.
Place the filled cones on the chilled baking sheet and return to the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm up the ice cream.
While the cones chill, prepare the chocolate coating. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and coconut oil.
Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. This should take approximately 1-2 minutes, depending on your microwave.
Remove the chocolate mixture from the microwave and let it cool for a minute.
Take the ice cream cones out of the freezer and quickly dip each cone into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
Immediately sprinkle the dipped portion with chopped nuts or sprinkles, pressing gently to adhere.
Place the coated cones back on the baking sheet and into the freezer for at least 5 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened.
Serve immediately or keep stored in the freezer until ready to enjoy.
