Chocolate dipped waffle cones are an eye-catching way to make your ice cream pop! These also double as the easiest and bestest summer dessert ever!
If you’re having friends over for a small casual get together, BBQ or backyard party and want a summer dessert that you can pull together quickly, but still want everyone to be wowed, then let me share a very easily done, effortless, chocolate dipped waffle cone recipe!
These are not only a piece of cake to make, but quick to prepare! You only need 4 main ingredients, waffle cones (or cones of your choice), chocolate, coconut oil and lastly sprinkles and more sprinkles (or your choice of other decorations, see more examples below).
These are practical and awesome! Whoever came up with this invention is a genius!
So, let’s up the ante! I decided to match my chocolate dipped waffle cones with my no-churn homemade mint chocolate chip ice cream. Can you imagine the delight! However if your time poor and making your own ice cream is just not on the agenda, then no worries just purchase your fav ice cream flavour and scoop it into your chocolate dipped waffle cones! Easy as that!
So, I’m sure by now you know that these are really easy to make! But how easy is easy?? Let me fill you in!
Well, you simply melt the chocolate and coconut oil in the microwave and then dip the waffle cone into the chocolate, sprinkle with your favourite decoration and that’s it!
The beauty about these creations is that you can leave the cone as is; dipped in chocolate for a sophisticated look, or you can dip the cone in other fun combinations, or your own ideas……the world’s your oyster!
Once you have finished dipping the waffle cones and let them chill for at least 5-10 minutes, scoop your fav ice cream on top and serve your guests the decorated gizmo’s! Divine!!
HERE ARE SOME DECORATING IDEAS

HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE DIPPED WAFFLE CONES?
- Prepare a tray with baking paper and set it aside.
- Then melt the chocolate and coconut oil in the microwave at 30 second intervals until the chocolate has melted. Mine took 1 ½ minutes to melt. Then set aside to slightly cool.
- Whilst the chocolate is cooling start preparing your decorations. Simply put your choice of decorations into little shallow bowls or cupcake papers and set aside.
- Once the melted chocolate has cooled a little, begin dipping the cones into the chocolate and let them drip a little to get the excess chocolate drip off them.
- Then use your hands to sprinkle over the decorations straight onto the wet chocolate waffle cone and place them on a tray with baking paper to set.
- Once all the cones have been dipped in chocolate and sprinkled with your choice of decoration, chill them in the fridge to set or until ready to serve.
That’s it!
Yippee your all set to go for a great little summer dessert……now where’s Summer!! Only 2 months to go! Arrrgghhh!!
