Drumsticks

Step 6: Top Off

If you're topping with nuts, make sure they're finely crushed.

• Place nuts in a plastic bag
• Smash with a hammer

Remove cones from freezer.

• Pour a small amount of Magic Shell on top of the cones. Quickly add chopped nuts (now that the ice cream's refrozen, the magic shell will set up quickly!)
• Alternatively, leave the cones in the freezer until very firm, remove wax paper and dip the entire top of the cone into a bowl of magic shell and sprinkle with chopped nuts.

Wrap in decorative paper for extra wow! These make awesome party treats.

For the ultimate ice cream experience, use a GIANT waffle cone! Man, oh man would that be an amazing treat!

OHMYGAWD!!! I LOVE THIS!!! Drumsticks are my ultimate favorite!!! And I swear they're not quite as delicious as they were when I was a kid, still good, just not as wonderful as they once were... With this recipe I feel I could achieve those wonders of yore... Thank You Scoochmaroo! Thank You!!

My husband's eyes popped out of his head when he saw this project, so I know what I'll be making this summer (we're in Australia. Right now it's 10 deg C. We're having sticky date pudding instead).

I'm thinking vanilla icecream with a chewy toffee spear in the middle. I can't remember which icecream had that when I was a kid, but I inhaled them back then!

I made these today and they worked out great, although I left out the chocolate centers. The only thing I might add is that if your ice cream gets REALLY melty (it was 85 degrees in my kitchen today) you might have to wait a while for it to set up in the freezer, and if you want it to be solid plan on a few hours before eating them. The magic shell recipe is wayyyyyy too fun!!!! next I will use butterscotch chips, then mint chips... etc... and smaller batches could easily be made. Thanks for a great Instructable!!!!!!

Awesome! I'm so glad you tried it! Did you go with soy ice cream?

[zanne101]

There is some great ice cream out there with a base of coconut milk. http://www.coconutbliss.com/
I think I'll try the "drumsticks" with it.

This looks like fun - Thanks!

[paper sack ideas]

I was going to make a couple that were soy, but got caught up in the process and realized I'd filled them all with regular ice cream, it's OK though cause I'm the kid that's allergic to milk, the rest of the family is ok with it. I'll make some for me too next time.

[hishealer]

I am lactose intolerant too, and I have discovered goat milk, and goat milk ice cream! It stays soft, which is another bonus, soft serve straight from the freezer! I wonder if it gets hard enough for this tho... Maybe if I don't overfill the cones... Hmmm. (LaLoo is the brand, and the Vanilla Snowflake is AWESOME! Tastes like the snow ice cream mommy made.)

[TechNerd1012]

hmm, goat milk ice cream sounds good! Now Ill have to try that!

[Goodhart]

I have, for some time now, been away from ALL soy products, except those that are properly fermented; the only ones that actually have any real thorough studies done about. I personally wouldn't recommend the milk nor ice cream until further results are available......

[paper sack ideas]

I figure I ride in cars, cross busy intersections, drink alchohol (not all those activities at once though), why not eat some soy products and really live on the edge. Seriously though, I used to be vegan and was eating TOO much soy, I am no longer relying on it as a protein source since I eat meat now, and just eat it sometimes. Rice ice cream is really yucky so I think a bit of soy ice cream is worth any potential "risks."

[halloweengirl80]

I second that :) Life is invariably fatal.

[lara_tas]

You're right - after all, we ARE talking about sweets here. Are sweets meant to be healthy? I think not!

[Goodhart]

Tis another reason I avoid them (not that I particularly LIKE sweet stuff to eat) ;-) If I am going to snack on something, I do prefer nuts or Dark (72% or higher) chocolate. We are all different in our likes and dislikes I guess.

[Goodhart]

I meant to list the ones I do eat: although I do occasionally eat tofu (which is unfermented) I try to stick with miso, soy sauce, tempeh, and natto. As for ice cream, I prefer it with real cream and just try not to eat too much of it :-)

[jeff-o]

You could also eat milk-free gelato.

[chrwei]

typical gelato has milk, the non milk variants are usually called sorbetto

[jeff-o]

Ah, you are correct. Thanks for the clarification. :)

[Rush_2112]

Cool! I am definitely going to try this!

[BuckyBoy]

maybe mix the rice krispies into the magic shell great ible! I may try this with my kids.

[TechNerd1012]

good idea!

[roboguy]

This is brilliant! We always used to get these when we were kids. My wife happens to make the best darn homemade icecream in the world (for true!); now I have a great new way for us to enjoy it!

[Brackinese]

Could your wife... share her recipe? :D If we combined this with amazing homemade ice cream, I think we might be able to end wars.

[scoochmaroo]

Awesome awesome awesome

[rhcpinferno]

you basically just took factory made icecream and shells and just stuck them together, u could have just gone to rite aid and picked out any of their ice cream desserts

[scoochmaroo]

Yup! But this is way more product for your money, and you can make them any flavors you want! Magic shell also does caramel and strawberry, and you can have any kind of toppings you want and any flavor ice cream!

[Tape-structable]

OOh. Caramel center. Im gonna try this someday.

[porcupinemamma]

Wow!!!! I had a "drum stick" tonight and I was thinking..".rats they just don't make them as tasty as they did when I was a kid" So; who knew lol.? I pop in to see what everyone is up to and there is your WAY COOL Instructable, Thanks. I can't wait to try it

[TechNerd1012]

you could also add some slightly crushed Rice Krispies to the top instead of the nuts, so it would be sort of like a Nestles Crunch topping

[scoochmaroo]

Great idea!

[manintveld_nl]

Now that's a good idea, I'd rather have the Krispies than the nuts myself ..
