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
Directions
Step 1
Place a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in the freezer to chill. This will help set the chocolate more quickly.
Step 2
Scoop the low-fat vanilla ice cream into each of the sugar cones, smoothing the top to create a nice dome shape.
Step 3
Place the filled cones on the chilled baking sheet and return to the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm up the ice cream.
Step 4
While the cones chill, prepare the chocolate coating. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and coconut oil.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Remove the chocolate mixture from the microwave and let it cool for a minute.
Step 7
Take the ice cream cones out of the freezer and quickly dip each cone into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
Step 8
Immediately sprinkle the dipped portion with chopped nuts or sprinkles, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 9
Place the coated cones back on the baking sheet and into the freezer for at least 5 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened.
Step 10
Serve immediately or keep stored in the freezer until ready to enjoy.
