DIY Drumstick Ice Cream




                                               I scream,                            You scream,                        We all scream for ice cream!!!


                                          


My kids introduced me to Drumstick Ice Cream Cones last summer.  I had spent my whole life, blissfully unaware of the deliciousness of boxed ice cream cones, due to the name of them.  When I hear "drumstick," my mind goes to poultry, not creamy ice cream, dipped in melt-in-your-mouth chocolate, topped with sprinkles.


After polishing off a box of them...the whole family, not just me!... I decided it would be fun to make our own.  I made the "magic shell" chocolate coating from chocolate chips and coconut oil, and rolled it around the inside edges of the cones.  (I kept all the cones in the freezer if I wasn't working with them that second). After the chocolate hardened (happens quickly in the freezer), I filled them up with slightly softened vanilla bean ice cream, dunked them back in the chocolate sauce, and quickly doused them with sprinkles before they froze.


From one hearty appletite to another...happy baking!
