Take note
Exercise caution when working with food coloring as it can stain surfaces and clothing. Also, be mindful of any food allergies you or your guests may have.

1

Prepare the Ice Cream Mixture

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of heavy cream, 1 cup of whole milk, 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Whisk the mixture until the sugar has dissolved completely.

2

Add Black Food Coloring

Add black food coloring to the ice cream mixture. Start with a few drops and gradually increase until the desired shade of black is achieved. Stir well to distribute the color evenly.

3

Chill the Mixture

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the ice cream mixture for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This step allows the flavors to meld together and ensures a creamy consistency.

4

Prepare the Cone Batter

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter and let it cool slightly. Add the melted butter, 1/4 cup of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until a smooth batter forms.

5

Cook the Cones

Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the pan and spread it into a thin, round shape. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.

6

Shape the Cones

While the batter is still warm and pliable, carefully roll each cooked pancake-like disc into a cone shape. Hold it in place for a few seconds until it sets. You can use a clean clothespin or a cone-shaping tool to help hold the shape if needed. Let the cones cool completely.

7

Fill with Black Ice Cream

Once the ice cream mixture is fully chilled and the cones are cooled, scoop the black ice cream into the cones using an ice cream scoop. Fill them generously, allowing some of the ice cream to overflow from the top for an extra indulgence.

8

Serve and Enjoy

Serve your homemade black ice cream cones immediately. You can sprinkle some crushed chocolate cookies or colorful sprinkles on top for added texture and fun. Enjoy the enchanting flavors of this whimsical treat!
