Ingredients
1 prepared cake (any flavour – chocolate, vanilla, funfetti, etc.)
⅓ to ½ cup frosting (buttercream, cream cheese, or canned frosting)
20 mini flat-bottomed ice cream cones
1½ cups white or milk chocolate melts (or candy melts/chips)
Gel food colouring (optional – pink, mint green, blue, etc.)
Sprinkles, crushed nuts, or mini candies (for decorating)
Wax paper or a foam block (for drying pops upright)
Instructions
- Bake and cool your cake completely to avoid melting the frosting.
- Crumble the cooled cake into fine, even crumbs in a large mixing bowl.
- Add ⅓ cup frosting and mix thoroughly; add more frosting 1 tablespoon at a time until mixture holds like firm dough.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls slightly smaller than a golf ball; place on wax paper and chill for 1 hour or freeze 15–20 minutes.
- Carefully attach each chilled cake ball onto a mini flat-bottomed cone, pressing gently; optionally dip the base in melted chocolate to secure.
- Melt chocolate melts in 30-second intervals until smooth; add gel food colouring if desired for color.
- Dip the cake ball part of each pop into melted chocolate, coating evenly; add sprinkles or decorations immediately.
- Stand the dipped cones upright in a foam block or inverted egg carton and let set at room temperature or refrigerate.
- Once set, serve and enjoy your Ice Cream Cone Cake Pops.
Notes
- Use gel-based food coloring to prevent chocolate from seizing.
- Chill cake balls thoroughly before dipping to avoid cracking.
- Mini cones are recommended for best presentation and portion control.
- Store pops in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate up to a week.
- Freeze pops up to 3 months for longer storage; thaw before serving.
- Customize colors and decorations to match any theme or occasion.
