How to prepare Classic Vanilla Drumstick
Ingredients:
- Sugar cone 🍦
- Vanilla ice cream 🍨
- Chocolate shell (chocolate chips or chocolate coating) 🍫
- Chopped peanuts 🥜
- Chocolate (for the surprise at the bottom) 🍫
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chocolate Surprise: Melt some chocolate in a microwave or a double boiler. Pour a small amount into the bottom of each sugar cone and let it set in the fridge for about 10 minutes. 🍫
- Fill with Ice Cream: Take your softened vanilla ice cream and fill each cone with it, packing it tightly. Leave some space at the top for the chocolate shell. 🍦
- Create the Chocolate Shell: Melt your chocolate chips or chocolate coating. Dip the top of each filled cone into the melted chocolate, ensuring it coats the ice cream well. Allow excess chocolate to drip off. 🍫
- Add Peanuts: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle chopped peanuts over the top of the chocolate coating. You can also roll the sides in peanuts for extra crunch! 🥜
- Freeze: Place the finished drumsticks upright in a cup or muffin tin and freeze for at least 1 hour to let everything set. ❄️
