Learn how to make Chocolate Dipped Cones. Save money and make your own Chocolate Filled Ice Cream Cones just like storebought ones!
You can make delicious chocolate filled sugar cones or even waffle cones for storebought ice cream or even homemade ice cream. Such a simple recipe!! I use tinfoil to keep them standing, but you could easily use a small shot glass or even poke holes into a cardboard box.
Everyone knows the best part of a chocolate filled ice cream cone is the bottom, am I right? Making them yourself you can control how much chocolate goes on the bottom! We also like to put a bit of chocolate on the outside of the cones and it really wows our guests. Our mini chef is a huge fan and often asks to just eat one of the chocolate cones without any ice cream in it, silly kiddo!

Recipe tips and variations
- Our special tip is to use really good quality chocolate. When you use cheaper chocolate, you’ll notice the difference. Quality chocolate melts smoothly whereas lower quality chocolate can end up a bit gritty. Making your own Chocolate Filled Ice Cream Cones is a great way to fill the cones with whatever you want! You can make a simple vegan banana nice cream or go crazy with flavors if you want.
- For this, you can use any cone you’d like, but we prefer a simple sugar cone. You can even go crazy and add on sprinkles, crushed cookies, chocolate chunks, chocolate chips, or whatever you like to the chocolate on the outside of the cone to give it a little decoration and yumminess! You could even do sprinkles to match a themed party if you’re using them for entertaining! These would be perfect for an ice cream party!
How to serve
You can serve it with ice cream, whipped cream, berries, fresh fruit, candy, whatever you prefer!
Frequently asked questions

We store them on the counter in an air-tight container for about a week. If it’s warmer where you are we recommend storing it in the refrigerator or freezer. If your ice cream cone is filled you’ll need to refrigerate it if it’s something fresh, but if it’s frozen it will need to be in the freezer.
Yes! It will be a little different though as they can stand upright. You can pour in the chocolate, dump out the excess and allow it to harden before filling.
