1. Prepare the Cone Base:
Place a waffle cone on a small plate to catch drips. Scoop two firm balls of vanilla ice cream and roll them in crushed cookies or mini chocolate chips for a crunchy coating. Place the scoops inside the cone.
2. Add the Soft Serve Swirl:
Pipe or spoon soft-serve ice cream on top of the scoops, creating a tall, elegant swirl. A star piping tip can add extra flair.
3. Decorate with Chocolate & Caramel:
Drizzle generously with chocolate syrup and, if desired, a little caramel syrup. Insert two chocolate bar pieces into the sides of the swirl.
4. Finish with Golden Crunch:
Sprinkle caramelized sugar shards or golden sprinkles over the top for a sparkling, crunchy finish.
Tips & Variations
Mix it up: Swap vanilla ice cream with chocolate, strawberry, or pistachio for a different flavor profile.
Extra crunch: Add chopped nuts or toffee bits alongside the cookie crumbs.
Mini cones: Make smaller versions for a fun party platter.
Dairy-free: Use plant-based ice cream to make these vegan-friendly.
This treat is perfect for sunny afternoons, celebrations, or whenever you want a dessert that looks as amazing as it tastes!
