Why make Ice Cream Cone Brownies?
Ice cream cone brownies are not only visually stunning; they are also useful. Serve in a cone for minimal mess and easy consumption on-the-go, as well as a fully customizable vessel for all your favorite toppings, making it a versatile treat for any occasion.
Here is the recipe.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour.
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar.
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Two huge eggs.
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence.
- 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder.
- 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
For the base:
- 12 flat bottomed ice cream cones.
Optional toppings:
- Whipped Cream
- Chocolate syrup.
- Sprinkles
- Maraschino cherries.
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and prepare.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175° C).
- Arrange the ice cream cones vertically in a muffin tray to provide stability while baking.
Step 2: Prepare the batter.
- In a mixing dish, combine the melted butter, sugar, and cocoa powder. Stir until smooth.
- Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract until evenly blended.
- In a separate basin, combine flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Gently blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until no lumps remain. If used, carefully mix in the chocolate chips for extra richness.
Step 3 Fill the cones.
- Fill each ice cream cone with about 3/4 of the brownie batter. This avoids overflow while baking.
Step 4: bake.
- Place the muffin tray in the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the center of a brownie to check its doneness; it should come out clean or with a few wet crumbs.
- Allow the cones to cool completely in their pan before adding toppings.
Step 5: Decorate.
- Finish each cooled brownie cone with a dollop of whipped cream or a swirl of frosting.
- For a typical ice cream cone appearance, drizzle chocolate syrup over the top, then add a handful of colorful sprinkles and a cherry to complete.
Tips for Success
- Don’t Overfill: Keep the batter level at 3/4 of the cone to prevent spilling when baking.
- Allow the cones to completely cool before decorating to keep the toppings from melting.
- Topping Ideas: For a distinctive touch, use crushed nuts, small marshmallows, or edible glitter.
