Drumroll please! This homemade Drumstick treat is as good from the first bite of creamy chocolate-covered ice cream as it is to the last nibble of decadent chocolate-coated cone.

Ingredients

6 drumsticks

9 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
3 tablespoons refined coconut oil
6 sugar cones
1 pint vanilla ice cream
2 tablespoons peanuts, chopped
  1. Step 1

    Combine chocolate and oil in a small, microwave-safe bowl. Heat in microwave in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth, stirring occasionally.

    Step 2

    Drizzle 1 Tbsp. chocolate into each cone, tilting and turning cone as you drizzle to evenly coat the inside. Shake cones upside down above bowl to allow excess chocolate to drip back into bowl; set leftover chocolate aside. Stand cones in narrow freezer-safe glasses to hold them upright. Freeze until chocolate is set, about 15 minutes.

    Step 3

    Working one at a time, remove cone from freezer and fill with ice cream, packing gently. Make a rounded scoop at top of cone, pressing down lightly to make sure it is well attached. Set cone back in glass; repeat with remaining cones. Freeze again until firm, at least 30 minutes.

    Step 4

    If reserved chocolate has thickened, briefly reheat in microwave to loosen. Working one at a time, quickly dip ice cream end of cone into chocolate, turning to coat and making sure ice cream is fully covered. Carefully rotate cone, allowing excess chocolate to drip back into bowl. Immediately sprinkle with peanuts and freeze again until chocolate is set, about 10 minutes.

  2. Do Ahead

    Step 5

    Drumsticks can be frozen until set, then stored in an airtight container and frozen for up to 7 days.
